Robust Temperature Sensing for Medical Applications (MLX90632)

health No Comments »

Meet Melexis’ MLX90632: a miniature infrared (IR) SMD thermometer IC for accurate medical grade (± 0.2 °C) non-contact temperature measurement, especially in thermally dynamic
environments and when available space is limited.

This ultra small device comes in a 3x3x1mm QFN package, eliminating the need for bulky TO-can packages.

Primary applications for this device can be found in wearable health monitoring applications as well as in forehead and ear thermometers and portable blood diagnosis tools.

Small size, high thermal stability and medical grade accuracy are combined within one sensor solution. Our new medical grade MLX90632 infrared sensor is a finalist for the ‘Innovative Product Award’ organized by Sensors Expo 2019.

FIWARE Healthcare DAY

health No Comments »

The Critical Role of Open Source and Open Standards on the Road to Secure and Robust Healthcare

About this Event
FIWARE is known for its ability and speed to address urgent challenges and the needs of society, companies, and public administrations. The need for ready-to-use solutions, based on Open Source and open standards principles – to help automate data sharing – continues to grow rapidly. This has, once again, become evident during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

More and more sharing tools are available, driven by Open Source principles, allowing relevant parties to access existing solutions as well as build on top of widely available ‘off the shelf’ solutions. Moreover, present circumstances are also a test case for data safety and cybersecurity, especially when handling health and personal data.

To showcase the ways in which the FIWARE Community members are on the frontline of helping the health sector to become more secure and robust, no least in times of a global pandemic, this free virtual experience brings together private and public businesses and developers to discuss how Open Source technology is contributing to addressing urgent challenges and the needs of society and the world as a whole.

The FIWARE Healthcare DAY will feature outstanding keynote and specialist speeches from experts in the field, as well as real-life use cases coming from across the world highlighting how health authorities and other relevant parties can leverage Open Source technologies to better track patients, aid to contain viruses and build a robust healthcare system.
