This is our time #1: Medical wearables for affordable healthcare

A shortage of 155,000 healthcare workers by 2032 is looming. It is therefore essential that we embrace innovative technologies that can replace routine work. The medical wearables from TNO's spin-off company AIKON Health offers 24/7 remote patient monitoring that keeps our healthcare available and affordable.
