Fraunhofer IZM: ECG with a patch – APPLAUSE European collaborative project successfully completed

Researchers from Fraunhofer IZM (Berlin, Germany), together with 31 partners from industry and research, have developed a stretchable and wireless patch that can be used to conduct diagnostically relevant cardiac monitoring in every-day life. This will reduce the number of in-patient examinations required for high-risk patients. It also boosts the semiconductor value chain for the medical sector in Europe through the development of new tools, methods and processes for series production.

Imec integrates thin-film pinned photodiode into superior shortwave-infrared imaging sensors

Imec (Leuven, Belgium), a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, presents the successful integration of a pinned photodiode structure in thin-film image sensors. With the addition of a pinned-photogate and a transfer gate, the superior absorption qualities of thin-film imagers – beyond one µm wavelength – can finally be exploited, unlocking the potential of sensing light beyond the visible in a cost-efficient way.
