Researchers want to verify everything they know – just to look at something is not enough in modern medicine.

Therefore, reliable measurement and testing systems are important to provide clear data about specific issues. Researchers have attempted to fit modern technology in sensors the size of a matchbox and to create sensors that go, if not under, but on the skin – worn in form of comfortable T-shirts.

The reliability of research data is based among other things on how precisely the required information could be collected in advance. Measuring systems need to be developed for this, which can be optimally adapted to the particular situation. The example of gait analysis demonstrates how this can be accomplished with inertial sensors.

Monitoring vital parameters in chronically ill patients constitutes an important area of medical health care. Sometimes however it is not possible to take measurements – for example during magnetic resonance tomography. The German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) has found a solution to this problem.
