Bringing medical technology from innovation to patient care is slow and costly due to the complexity of the needed technologies and regulations. VTT’s pilot environment for medical devices, based on printed and flexible electronics and photonics technologies, accelerates the market entry of patient-friendly innovations.

The medical device pilot enables the production of small and middle-size prototype series for pre-clinical studies using the most advanced electronic, photonic, microelectronic and microfluidic components and integration manufacturing technologies following ISO-13485 practises. These enable the development of comfortable-to-wear, skin-like wearable sensors combined with wireless communication and data processing functionalities.

Key application focus areas for the pilot line include preventive monitoring of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes and early cancer detection and recurrence as well as rapid diagnostics.
