Abstract:

Tiny sensors are catalysts for addressing major modern challenges: Enhancing air quality and elevating human well-being. Clean air is vital for well-being. Innovative MEMS technology measures health-damaging pollutants in the air and can help improve air quality. To further enhance well-being, MEMS sensors can track full-body motion, coupled with AI-driven personalization, providing real-time qualitative and quantitative feedback to users.
These examples underscore the synergy between MEMS sensors and smart algorithms, unlocking vast potential across diverse fields. This presentation emphasizes the transformative power of MEMS sensors, envisioning a world where technology not only enhances devices but also transforms lives. The presentation concludes with an outlook on innovative use cases ahead.
