• Scientific/technological (such as biodynamic authenticating indicators and physiological state diagnosis)
• User-centred (such as acceptance, usability and legal framework - accordingly all HUMABIO applications are conducted with the consent of all monitored subjects and subjects are aware of the system's operation at all times.
• Application-related (such as continuous authentication, secure interoperable biometrics and emotional staging and monitoring).

HUMABIO is a EC co-funded "Specific Targeted Research Project" (STREP) where new types of biometrics are combined with state of the art sensorial technologies in order to enhance security in a wide spectrum of applications like transportation safety and continuous authentication in safety critical environments like laboratories, airports or other buildings.
