As published by Med-Tech Insights, Dr. Jae Son explores the critical importance of ergonomics in medical device design – showing how comfort and fit impact patient compliance and outcomes, and how PPS tactile sensing technologies enable objective measurement to overcome the limits of “one-size-fits-all” approaches.
Read MoreAs announced by Med Tech, PPS and NHS Golden Jubilee will present the first in vivo use of the Precision Knee Aligner at PAS 2025 - an advanced sensor system enabling real-time force measurement to improve soft tissue balance in total knee replacement surgery.
Read MoreAnother promising application for capacitive tactile sensors is arterial line placement, a common, but difficult, procedure performed in a clinical setting. An arterial line is a thin catheter inserted into an artery. It is most commonly used in intensive care medicine and anesthesia to monitor blood pressure continuously and to obtain samples for blood gas analysis.
Read MoreExtremely sensitive, thin, conformable tactile sensors will play a key role in the next generation of consumer wearable and clinical devices that measure blood pressure.
