Our Expertise - Your Benefit

Speed
Response times are a decisive performance factor in the medical sector. Our unique CMOSens® Technology allows your applications to be controlled with shorter response times than with conventional systems. The response time of a CMOSens® mass flow meter, for example, is less than 1 millisecond, which can be a decisive advantage in a variety of medical applications.

Customer-Specific Solutions
No matter what the application, we know where and how to integrate our sensors for the best results. Our experience with a wide variety of applications in the medical field ensures that the sensors will be implemented properly. Tell us what you need, and we will provide you with optimum sensors.

Support
Our many years of experience in the medical sector make us a valuable partner, offering optimum support for every project in all stages – from the initial concept through the design stage to series production – thanks to our sensor expertise. Ideally you involve us in your project right from the start.

Long-Term Stability, Sensitivity, and Reliability
Our sensors achieve long-term stability, precision, and reliability that are unparalleled on the market. These characteristics are crucial in medical applications, and are fundamental to your and your products’ success.

Economy of Scale
As a standard process for semiconductor manufacturing, CMOS has been optimized for reliable mass production. Through their high-volume production, sensors using CMOSens® Technology based on this standard process enable optimum cost-effectiveness – naturally without compromising reliability nor precision.

This enables feedback from the user on the improvement of inhalation and diagnosis that supports the health care professional. Sensirion has the sensor solution tailored to the requirements of your specific application. Use Sensirion's technology to successfully explore new applications in e-health and enable the medical inhaler device of tomorrow.

Yet Another Technical Gap Closed: Measuring Lowest Flow Rates in Medical Therapies
Medical procedures and therapies are often faced by the same challenge: accurately measuring and controlling lowest flow rates down to the microliter per hour range. In most of these cases the outcome of the therapy, as well as the well-being or even the survival of the patient strongly rely on the reliable and continuous drug administration in such low flow regimes. While various countermeasures have been evaluated and introduced, there is still room for improvement and for new technologies to be established. One novel development with tremendous potential is a single-use liquid flow sensor that is able to measure lowest flow rates and detect common failure modes quickly and reliably.
