DESCRIPTION:Chris Van Hoof\,\nVice President R&D imec\, General Manager On
 ePlanet Research Center\, Professor KULeuven\nAbstract\nPrevention of life
 style-related diseases is more effective\, far less costly and immensely m
 ore contributing to quality of life than having to manage chronic disease.
  OnePlanet Research Center conducts groundbreaking research towards health
  predictions and to provide partners swith these insights and technologies
 . Such personalized tools and applications could provide individuals detai
 led insights into their mental and physical health\, but also personalized
  advice that would prevent lifestyle-related diseases and improve quality 
 of life for people with a disease.\n \nSwallowable sensors for continuous
 \, detailed and non-invasive assessment of factors such as inflammation in
  the gastrointestinal tract\, fiber intake\, protein digestion and microbi
 ota composition will be one of the outcomes of Ingestibles. Our smart bath
 room for health focuses on measuring inflammation biomarkers in urine and 
 feces\, whereas CHILL + wearable investigates how to present a picture of 
 how one’s behavior affects one’s mental wellbeing and stress levels. A
 ll of these projects will converge in the Human Digital Twin: an AI-guided
 \, digital copy of a human being\, controlled by that individual\, which d
 etails timely and appropriate interventions and their potential health ben
 efits.\n \nIn this partnership\, the innovative power of three organizati
 ons is leveraged: imec (chip and digital technologie)\, Wageningen Univers
 ity & Research (agriculture\, food\, nutrition and health) and Radboud Uni
 versity and Radboud university medical center (healthcare). Extensive fiel
 d & clinical studies ensure that what is developed can make a difference i
 n real life.\n\n\nBio\nChris Van Hoof is General Manager of the OnePlanet 
 Research Center in Gelderland. He is also Vice President R&D at imec. Chri
 s believes preventive health\, personalised nutrition\, sustainable food p
 roduction and reduced waste are essential enablers of improving our world 
 for the generations to come. And he is convinced that technology (hardware
  and AI) are key tools to make that happen. After receiving a PhD in Elect
 rical Engineering from the University of Leuven in 1992\, Chris has held p
 ositions as manager and director at imec in highly diverse fields spanning
  technology\, circuits\, systems\, data and applications. Apart from deliv
 ering industry-relevant innovative solutions to customers\, his work also 
 resulted in five startups (four in the healthcare domain). He is also full
  professor at the University of Leuven and imec Fellow. Although OnePlanet
  Research Center started just over 3 years ago\, it has already built up a
  team of 100 scientists and engineers\, who create innovations in close co
 llaboration with teams from the founding organizations imec\, Radboud Univ
 ersity and Medical Center and Wageningen University and Research.\n
