OnePlanet Research Center

Contributing to a society where everyone can live healthy lives and has access to healthy and sustainably produced food. With that aim, Wageningen University & Research, Radboud University, Radboudumc and nanotechnology company imec are working together in the innovation centre OnePlanet Research Center.

At OnePlanet we use the latest chip and digital technologies to create a society in which everyone can live a healthy life and has access to healthy and sustainable food. At OnePlanet Research Center, we initiate fundamental and applied research, groundbreaking innovations and smart product applications. This is only possible by using and bringing together great ideas, innovations and chip and digital technologies from different disciplines and work closely together with industry.

Partnerships

We are committed to inspiring partnerships where companies, schools, universities, researchers, social institutions and citizens work together. OnePlanet combines specialisms from the fields of agriculture, food and health and turn dreams into feasible solutions that contribute to a more sustainable society.

OnePlanet is supported bij the Province of Gelderland.

ICAI LAB – AI for Precision Health, Nutrition & Behavior

Research

To improve lifestyle recommendations, we need to learn what works especially for one person and what does not. Artificial intelligence (AI) can help us do this.

Smart Technology User Friendly Feedback For Life (STUFF-4-Life)

Research

This project investigates how digital health applications can be made suitable for people with low social economic status.

Prevention and Health

Research

The Prevention and Health project of Radboud University and Radboudumc aims to find out how health differences between citizens can be reduced.

HOME-IBD

Research

This project aims to detect and predict flare-ups and help patients monitor Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or inflammatory bowel disease at home using smart technologies.

Urinary biomarker research for preventive health

Research

At OnePlanet we work on a smart toilet that we would like to use to detect diseases at an early stage to prevent them instead of curing them. Within this project, we investigate which biomarkers in urine we should measure for this purpose.

INtoEAT

Research

INtoEAT aims at development and implementation of innovative digital tools that can improve healthy eating habits and lifestyle in elderly as a nutrition aid.

Projects: Environmental Monitoring

New sensor technology for sustainable agriculture

Research

Photonics chips, tested and validated by Radboud University's Trace Detection Laboratory, are being further developed into an innovative photonics-based gas sensor for monitoring agricultural emissions.

Towards smart soil-sensing: developing a proxy for soil health

Research

Rosa Boone is studying how the restoration of soil diversity contributes to the condition of soil. To do this, she's developing a new measuring method that farmers can use to track the health of the soil beneath their feet.

Projects: Technology Innovations

Active Vital Signs

Research

The Active Vital Signs project is developing a centralised, scalable data infrastructure that enables health data to be securely combined, analysed and reused, in full compliance with the new legislation.
