Ear biofeedback system – one step closer to personalized medicine
Vital parameter measurement and biofeedback therapy – combined in one ear device. The basis of the ear biofeedback system is the analysis of vital parameters measured at the ear
Multisensor technology supports diagnosis and therapy of normal-tension glaucoma
/in Medical technology, MOEMSThe time-synchronous measurement of ECG and PPG should enable the screening of vascular dysregulation with a good sensitivity and, above all, a very high specificity. By using modern low-power electronics and resource-saving technologies of microsystems engineering, a solution was created that enables mobile monitoring of vital parameters, e.g. in outpatient use
Optoelectronic and micromechanical sensors for medical technology and bioanalytics
/in Events, Medical technology, MEMS, MOEMSAt the IVAM product market “High-tech for Medical Devices” the CiS Research Institute shows new results from research and development in the field of medical microsystems technology
Bio-instrument for 16-channel impedance spectroscopy of biological cell cultures
/in Medical technologyCiS has developed a method that allows biocompatibility to be evaluated while the experiment is still in progress. The measuring device contains a sensor with evaluation electronics and records the data by means of impedance spectroscopy. The electrical resistance is proportional to the number of cells on the surface of the culture medium
Art and Sensors – Via Emotions to the Product
/in Medical technology, MOEMSStudents at the Bauhaus University in Weimar were looking at alternative ways of marketing the results of high-tech research. The collaboration between the university and the CiS Research Institute for Microsensors and Photovoltaics came about as part of an interdisciplinary “prototype seminar” held by the Chair of Media Management. The aim of the seminar was to find new, generally comprehensible and attractive ways of accessing the application possibilities of high-tech solutions in need of explanation
Better vision with intelligent implant – micro-optical accommodation system as an alternative to intraocular lenses
/in Medical technology, MOEMSThe decreasing accommodation ability of the eye with increasing age (presbyopia) can be compensated by visual aids. In case of additional lens opacity (cataract), the removal of the lens and the implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) are necessary. The new approach to solve this problem pursued in the BMBF-funded project “Akkosys” is a smart microsystem that is implanted in the capsular bag of the eye instead of an intraocular lens
Force sensor for haptic assistance systems in medicine
/in Force, Medical technology, MEMSA miniaturized force sensor measures the forces at catheter tips that occur between the guide wire (catheter) and blood vessels during insertion. The KASYS mini-chip, just 200 x 220 x 640 µm in size and thus just twice as wide as a hair, is the heart of a haptic assistance system that will simplify catheterizations in medicine in the future and reduce the risk of injury
