Relatively new to High Tech Campus, STENTiT is a medtech startup aiming to revolutionize artery intervention. Born out of technology from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) , the company found a natural home at High Tech Campus Eindhoven to grow its business and benefit from the Brainport community.
Healthcare is undergoing a transformative shift with the rise of stick-to-skin wearable monitoring devices. These data-collecting marvels, such as continuous glucose or cardiac monitoring devices, offer convenience & real-time insights.This article explores capabilities, applications & market trends
Active high-pass filters remove unwanted low-frequency signals while preserving useful higher frequencies. This article covers first- and second-order filter design, Sallen-Key and multiple-feedback topologies, and practical applications in audio electronics, instrumentation, and signal processing.
A new glove with more than three dozen actuators across all five fingers and the palm, developed by Cornell researchers, aims to reduce swelling for people suffering from edema.
AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an innovative hand exoskeleton that helps persons after stroke re-learn how to grasp. Its accordion-like structure makes it light, robust and easy to integrate into everyday life.

This guide will focus on the key stages of the medical device development process, touching on the development timeline for different medical products. We will also discuss the various challenges and opportunities for product development in the medical device industry.
In this episode, we discuss the breakthrough research by MIT engineers to effectively deliver drugs through the skin allowing for a lower dosage of active ingredients needed per use and a potentially pill-free implementation of commonly used drugs!
New technologies in life sciences and health are transforming healthcare from a labor-intensive industry to a data-driven, innovation-intensive industry.
A washable wearable biometric device using printed electronics technology provides real-time data for telemedicine. Integrated into a sleeve, the sensors monitor muscle activity. The data, transmitted to an online platform, facilitates remote health monitoring.
In the episode, we discuss how smart helmets can prevent head trauma by providing feedback in real time to athletes and coaches. These helmets utilize advanced technology, such as sensors and smart features, to enhance safety during activities like sports.
The world is aging; according to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the population over 60 will double from 12 percent to 22 percent.
Automation uncovers combinations of amino acids that feed two bacterial species and could tell us much more about the 90% of bacteria that humans have hardly studied.
Players may not be aware of the severity of head impacts suffered during a game. Bearmind, an EPFL spin-off, has developed smart helmets that provide a series of metrics enabling coaches to monitor the neurological effects of head impacts suffered by their players. The firm hopes to quickly conquer the US market.
Researchers have developed a 3D bioprinter for cancer research that can be folded into a carry-on pack, transported, and easily reassembled for printing inside a biosafety cabinet. The technology can perform rapid and reproducible manufacture of complex tumouroids – 3D cell cultures which resemble tumour tissues – to test potential immunotherapy treatments.
In this episode we talk about how researchers at EPFL have developed a new method of 3D printing bone-like composites using bacteria-infused ink. The process involves the use of hydrogel as a printing medium that provides a scaffold for bacterial growth, which produces calcium carbonate crystals that mimic the properties of bone.
