The COMPAMED exhibitors demonstrate how smart sensors and IoT solutions enable smart data-driven medicine.
Interview Dr.-Ing. Michael Gasteyer, IST Jobst
Both traditional therapies and tests profit from new sensors and continuous sensors, as well as new applications that really require close monitoring of individual patients. And we really run into borders with traditional methods, with manual sample extraction, and have to move to real online sensors close to the patient, where the patients benefit from close monitoring, especially metabolics, for example.
Connectivity of sensors and sensor data will play a huge and crucial role in future developments, both on the physical level as well as on the information gathering and information usage level. And we have to merge sensor data from different suppliers and from different manufacturers together to provide concise solutions, to read out, and use the data.

From high-precision sensors to wearables, targeted treatment is only possible with reliable data.
Interview Shinya Sakuma, Mitsufuji Corporation
We make a silver-coated yarn, which is conductive. We developed it as a sensor to collect ECG data. A normal device to collect ECG data is only for a spot, not a long time. So the data is hard to analyze for a doctor because it's spot data.
But if you wear our wearable device, you can collect enough long time data on a daily basis, so a doctor can analyze a patient's condition easily.
