The VINNEX center is a multi-disciplinary research platform that will establish collaborations between Swedish forest products industry, electronic industry and bio-medical industry, in area of intelligent paper and packaging for biomedical applications. The center will develop core technologies for heterogeneous integration of bio-medical sensors, energy supplies, computing and wireless communications on fiber-based packaging and paper-boards, for innovative products such as smart bio-paper, intelligent pharmaceutical packaging and storage, intelligent patient monitoring devices. The center will coordinate 6 multi-disciplinary research groups within KTH, 2 research institutes – STFI-PackForsk and YKI, and over 20 Swedish companies. The research will explore multi-disciplinary innovations encompassing self-powered, ultra-low cost wireless links, paper-based bio-medical sensors, printed energy cells and interactive paper functions, low cost manufacturing and integration technologies as well as manufacturability aspects.
