The Girona Health Region, with the technological support of Better Care, a company specializing in clinical interoperability and medical data management, has launched a new remote care model that connects the Palamós Hospital with the Trueta-Santa Caterina Territorial Critical Care Service and the Cardiovascular Critical Care Unit of the Josep Trueta University Hospital.
Festo, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA), has presented a disruptive solution to one of the biggest challenges in modern medicine: the large-scale production of gene and cell therapies.
At Saarland University, a team of engineers, medical researchers, and computer scientists is developing smart implants that not only stabilize fractures but also monitor the healing process from day one and provide targeted support when needed. The engineering team, led by Professor Paul Motzki, contributes microactuators with shape memory and integrated sensing functions, while Professor Bergita Ganse and her research group contribute their medical expertise on fracture healing.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an essential tool in modern medical imaging, with tunable source OCT (SS-OCT) positioning itself as a leading modality due to its superior imaging speed, depth penetration, and sensitivity. By employing scanning laser sources, SS-OCT enables high-resolution, real-time visualization of tissue microstructures, making it especially valuable in applications such as ophthalmology, cardiology, dermatology, and dental imaging.
Vital Signs Monitoring (VSM) devices can acquire various electrophysiological signals (such as electrocardiograms (ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and bioelectrical impedance (Bio-Z)), which reflect multiple aspects of human physiological state and are widely used in health monitoring, disease prevention, and auxiliary treatment.
Flow cytometry is a technology that analyzes cells based on the scattering and fluorescence they produce when passing through lasers of different wavelengths of light. These signals are detected by optical sensors that generate small electrical pulses, which are converted into voltage and digitized. Both the pulse height and area contain information.
FORTEC Integrated has developed the MED-Line 15.6, a high-end touchscreen monitor designed for demanding medical applications. It can be easily integrated into existing projects under the ISO 13485 standard and is suitable for a wide range of uses, including dialysis systems, laser devices, patient monitoring, and operating room equipment.
Fight germs with UV-C radiation: Light disinfection is gaining importance worldwide in hospitals, offices, kitchens, and bathrooms. Even tap water can be disinfected with UV-C radiation. ams OSRAM has now achieved a technological breakthrough in this field as part of the evaluation of a new UV-C LED. The LED offers an efficiency of over 10% with a power of 200 milliwatts, a wavelength of 265 nanometers, and a lifespan exceeding 20,000 hours.
Complying with the Low Voltage Regulation and ICT-BT-38 is not just a technical obligation: it's a guarantee of clinical safety and operational efficiency. In operating rooms equipped with CT scanners, where every second counts and every piece of equipment must function at 100%, solutions like Socomec's Modulys GP allow hospitals to meet regulations with confidence, adapt to future needs without interruption, and optimize resources without compromising safety.
A medical research team at Saarland University, led by Professor Bergita Ganse, has discovered a new approach to monitoring bone fracture healing by measuring blood flow to the tissue at the fracture site and the blood oxygen level. Bone regeneration can be monitored quickly and easily using near-infrared light instead of shorter-wavelength radiation, which is harmful.
ams OSRAM introduces a new cyan laser diode for life science applications, emitting at a wavelength of 488 nanometers. These characteristics are essential for reliable analysis in life science research and diagnostics, such as DNA sequencing and flow cytometry.
The new ams OSRAM PLT5 488HB_EP cyan laser diode achieves an output power of 300 milliwatts, which represents a five-fold increase in optical performance and an efficiency improvement of more than 40% compared to its predecessor.
Electrical safety in hospital settings is a critical aspect that directly impacts the protection of patients, healthcare staff, and medical equipment. Therefore, different medical wards are classified into different groups according to the associated electrical risk and the potential impact of a power outage on patient safety.
