The project involves 27 partners from 7 European countries.
The output of the project will be 14 demonstrators based on MEMS capacitive technologies that will strengthen the European position and autonomy in the field of acoustic sensors.

The aim of the project is to bring the smallest micro-electro-mechanical sensors into high volume production at globally competitive costs and make them available for a wide range of applications for industry and medicine. The research will yield higher image resolutions in ultrasound probes, robust mini-hearing aids with first-class sound quality and low energy consumption. The focus will also be on wearable ultrasound patches for early detection of heart disease and ultrasound devices for rapid infection control in infants. In industry, continuous quality control of materials and intelligent monitoring of the energy infrastructure are to be implemented.

IMA will develop, in cooperation with VUT and UTIA, a device for localization and identification of issues on electric distribution network. Based on innovative ultrasound sensors a device for infrastructure monitoring and maintenance optimization will be invented.
