The kick-off meeting of the IDEAS SensSmart project financed by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia has been held at at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade on April 12^th 2022.

The project team members and officers from the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and the School of Electronic Engineering, University of Belgrade, gathered for a bonding session and introductory discussion of scientific and organizational matters of the project.

With a strong motivation, high ambition and clear plan, we are setting off on developing a new multiparameter diagnostic technology that will enable heart failure diagnostics in primary care.

Our multidisciplinary team: Prof. Dr. Arsen Ristic and Prof. Dr. Vladan Vukcevic (Faculty of Medicine), Aleksandra Lazic, Dr. Jovana Petrovic and Dr. Ljupco Hadzievski (INN Vinca), Natalija Djordjevic and Dr. Predrag Tadic (School of Electronic Engineering), and Ana Pavlovic (project officer, INN Vinca).

Invited talk at the 15^th Photonics Workshop, Serbia, March 2022

Dr. Jovana Petrovic gave an invited talk on SensSmart project at the Photonics Workshop, Kopaonik, Serbia, March 2022. She has presented our work on multiparameter sensing technology and preliminary results of polycardiographic measurements. The emphasis was on photonic sensors used to measure pulse forms of arterial pulsations. Conventionally used photoplethysmographs are usually designed as point sensors, which makes the measurement operator-dependent. This reduces the measurement reproducibility and increases cost. The linear form and high sensitivity of the fibre gratings ameliorate the operator dependence. However, cross-sensitivity of fibre gratings to the body movement cause artefacts in signals. These preliminary inspire further investigations of both sensors within the SensSmart project.
