Do you believe sensors will play a key part in preventive medicine going forward?
Preventive medicine plays a crucial role in enhancing patient outcomes by proactively identifying and addressing potential health issues before they escalate. The focus is shifting towards making medical services accessible to individuals worldwide, eliminating the need to transport patients to healthcare facilities.
VPG Sensors present a valuable opportunity to detect health issues in their early stages, facilitating prompt interventions and potentially revolutionizing disease management strategies. Their capability to monitor treatment progress could significantly impact healthcare practices.
In addition to in-situ human body applications, the foil strain gage sensor is the main sensing element for medical devices and equipment. A few examples are:
The Human Body in Research:
🔹 Impact forces, fluid pressures, movement, weight and body balance.
🔹 Non-invasive medical imaging and diagnostic tools.
🔹 Sight, touch.
🔹 Cardiovascular system, heart.
🔹 Locomotor system, Biophysical.
Weighing and Force Measurement Applications:
🔹 Bending and axial loads in medical systems under different operating conditions, robotic surgical equipment
🔹 Body lift systems and medical scales, patient bed weighing, pharmaceutical scales.
🔹 Motion rehabilitation machines.
🔹 Infusion pumps.
🔹 Blood pressure and heart rate monitoring equipment
🔹 Prosthetics feedback control systems.
🔹 Mammography.
🔹 IV bag weighing.
🔹 Infant Incubator
