Nanografi is pleased to announce its participation in MORPHEUS – Modular Reconfigurable Platform for Health and Environmental Universal Sensing, a Horizon Europe-funded research project focused on advancing flexible sensing technologies for healthcare and environmental monitoring.
Launched on 1 June 2026, MORPHEUS will run for 48 months until 31 May 2030. The project has a budget of approximately EUR 5 million and is coordinated by Politecnico di Torino. The consortium brings together 14 organisations, including universities, research institutions, technology companies, standardisation bodies and clinical stakeholders from across Europe.
A Modular Platform for Continuous Monitoring
The primary objective of MORPHEUS is to develop a modular wearable patch capable of continuously monitoring physiological, biochemical and environmental parameters in healthcare settings.
The platform will be based on a plug-and-sense architecture featuring interchangeable sensor cartridges. This modular approach will allow different sensing functions to be added or replaced without changing the entire device.
The planned sensing capabilities include:
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Bio-impedance measurement
- Cortisol detection
- Temperature and environmental monitoring
To support these functions, the project will combine 2D materials, functional hydrogels, solution-processable electronics, flexible aqueous batteries and supercapacitors, low-power wireless communication modules and flexible display technologies.
Flexible, Biocompatible and Sustainable Technologies
MORPHEUS will focus on developing biocompatible and biodegradable substrates, coatings and encapsulation layers suitable for flexible sensing devices.
The project aims to deliver a TRL 5 demonstrator for multiparameter monitoring in relevant healthcare environments. Expected outcomes also include new material formulations, a library of interchangeable sensor modules and low-power wireless communication solutions for clinical data transmission.
The modular device architecture will also be assessed in terms of its potential to reduce material waste compared with conventional single-use monitoring technologies. Life-cycle assessment and life-cycle costing studies will support the project’s sustainability objectives.
Nanografi as a Consortium Partner
Nanografi is participating in MORPHEUS as one of the project’s consortium partners, alongside universities, research organisations, technology companies, standardisation bodies and clinical stakeholders from across Europe.
Through its participation in MORPHEUS, Nanografi joins an interdisciplinary European collaboration focused on flexible electronics, advanced materials and next-generation sensing technologies.
