Innovative sensor technology from Fraunhofer ENAS enables improved healthcare

Smart sensor-based monitoring and diagnostic systems allow to quickly and reliably identify health-threatening risk factors as well as diseases and immediately initiate countermeasures. As a specialist for intelligent system solutions, Fraunhofer ENAS develops high-precision sensor solutions for “one health” applications and will be presenting these at this year´s COMPAMED in hall 8a at booth G19.5:

Environmental monitoring detects health risks

Chemical or microbiological pollutants in food can pose significant risks to human health. Rapid testing of food helps to minimize these risks and detect contaminants using highly sensitive microfluidic sensor systems, which Fraunhofer ENAS is developing together with international partners.

Nanocomponents for sensitive biosensors

Carbon nanotubes are a promising class of materials for sensor applications due to their outstanding properties, such as their high sensitivity. Carbon nanotube-based sensors, which Fraunhofer ENAS is researching, are suitable for reliably identifying biological and chemical analytes, which makes them interesting for drug research, the detection of biomarkers or the identification of diseases.

Ultrasound improves diagnostics

Ultrasound techniques can be used to visualize structures inside the body and diagnose diseases in a patient-friendly manner. Fraunhofer ENAS is working on a new generation of micromechanical ultrasonic transducers that will allow detailed insights into the human body and thus support medical diagnostics.

Take the opportunity to discover these and other sensor solutions at COMPAMED 2024.
