One outstanding exhibit at the trade fair is the newly developed ECG chip, which is capable of detecting atrial fibrillation in real time. The prototype combines the latest hardware innovations with artificial intelligence to identify cardiac arrhythmias early and reliably. It was developed at Fraunhofer IMS in Duisburg based on RISC-V architecture and advanced AI applications. The so-called AIRISV system enables the use of compact neural networks directly in medical devices, allowing potentially life-threatening conditions to be detected at an early stage.

Also on display are pressure sensors developed at the institute, which are characterized by exceptional long-term stability and high measurement accuracy. These energy-efficient sensor solutions are specially designed for use in telemetrically communicating implants and offer reliable long-term monitoring of physiological parameters. Fraunhofer IMS also supports the implementation of approved medical devices and has already successfully met the requirements of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) with its brain implant.

Another illustrative exhibit is a sugar cube used to demonstrate ALD (atomic layer deposition) coating. The visualization impressively shows how uniform, ultra-thin coatings can completely envelop even complex structures. Thanks to their long-term stability and extended sensor functionality, the microsensors enable innovative applications in medicine and biomedicine.

Fraunhofer IMS cordially invites all trade visitors to visit the IVAM joint booth in Hall 8A, Booth G19.4 to learn about current developments and forward-looking technologies in the field of medical electronics.
