TRIL (Technology Research for Independent Living) Centre launched the BioMOBIUS Research Platform, an open shareable technology platform, which allows researcher to rapidly develop sophisticated technology solutions for biomedical research. This platform helps researchers to reduce the time spent on developing foundational technologies, allowing them to focus on their actual research. The software elements of BioMOBIUS provide:
- Rapid Development (Graphical Development Environment)
- Biosignal Processing Applications (Real Time)
- Mobile hardware and physiological sensor support
- Straightforward user interfaces (GUI Designer)
- Reduced Development Replication (Re-use of Blocks)
- Targeting applications
The BioMOBIUS Research Platform was developed by the TRIL Centre, a groundbreaking research collaboration between Intel Corporation and a number of Irish academic partners, and jointly funded by Intel and the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) Ireland. Its goal is to explore technology to help older people to continue living independently. The platform is being used primarily by TRIL researchers to help clinicians detect and prevent or alleviate certain conditions related to ageing, such as falls and cognitive decline, and to help older people to strengthen their social connections.
The hardware elements of the BioMOBIUS research platform provide support for the SHIMMER wireless sensor platform and other third party hardware and sensor devices.
BioMOBIUS is freely available to users for research purposes only. Please follow the links to the register and download pages to obtain a copy of the BioMOBIUS software environment. Details on hardware support and availability can be found in the hardware section. Please feel to share your experiences of MOBIUS and suggestions for enhancements and new features via the provided discussion forum.

About the TRIL Centre
The TRIL Centre is a multi-million euro research collaboration between industry and academic partners including Intel, University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin and the National University of Ireland, Galway. The Centre has created dedicated laboratories at Intel and in each of the universities involved, and is driving bi-directional knowledge and technology transfer of research that addresses the physical, cognitive and social consequences of ageing. The TRIL Centre is one of the largest research projects of its kind in the world. It will develop innovative technologies to help people 'age in place' wherever they choose to live.
