Microsystems for Medical Technologies
Microsystems are an important innovation driver for medical technology. With the usage of their outstanding suitability for miniaturization and their great performance we realize wearable diagnostic and assistance systems, which support the daily life, e.g. of senior citizens or people with chronic medical conditions. In our research, we use them as well to develop smart, theragnostic implants, which combine diagnostic and therapeutic functions. An example is the smart hip joint prosthesis INHUEPRO, which autonomously detects a loosening and begins to automatically take therapeutic measures to initiate reinforcements, so that complicated operations are avoided.
