In the joint ERDF-BAE (Body Area Emulator, A74649) project of the University of Oulu, VTT and companies in the Oulu region a research infrastructure for the emulation of human physiological signals was developed. In practice, this is only possible with an emulation model developed for this purpose. However, the development of multimodal measurement methods and applications and the validation of analytical models require the ability to replicate the test protocol hundreds of times and accurately with several and the same physiological excitation signals. Moreover, the need for multimodality, with multiple methods / modalities measured simultaneously, has been identified as necessities in the development of diagnostics and artificial intelligence applications. Wearable sensors and continuous long-term measurement applications are a growing trend in the world. Dozens of technology companies operate in the area developing sensors and measurement technologies as well as commercial applications based on various data processing methods serving the needs of the medical and healthcare industries as well as the health and wellness industries. Biomedical engineering and health technology are continuing on a strong growth trajectory in the Oulu region.
