Biomedical sensors

Digitalization in medicine is continuously advancing, with sensors and measurement technology serving as crucial tools. They provide the input and control data necessary for control, monitoring, and evaluation.

Special measurement techniques enable the collection of process data, for example through temperature sensors, gas sensors, and dielectric sensors, both in vitro and in vivo, without influencing the corresponding process. The collected data enables real-time detection of vital or process parameters and can be used offline for diagnosis, optimization, and modeling of processes. Digitally networked online measurement technology enables customized therapy, such as in ventilation, as well as efficient process control, for example in movement sequences or tissue ablation.

In the research area “Health Technologies and Processes,” we are working on the development and transfer of the measurement technology of the future into biomedical applications. These include new measurement methods for both clinical and biotechnology applications, as well as combined sensor technology for special applications. Thanks to our collaboration with clinical partners, experimental sensor technology can be tested quickly, enabling rapid iterations in development. Successful research projects, publications, and patent applications underscore our many years of expertise in this field.
