Abstract:

“Not only in industrial engineering ("Industry 4.0") but also in medicine there actually seems to emerge a paradigm shift: we are on the threshold to "Medicine 4.0". For many years, molecular biology took the lead in life sciences - now scientists start to realise, that telecommunication systems, due to increasing telecommunication, have advanced to the dimensions of human cells and consequently can be used for therapeutic approaches. The common telecommunication systems can also be extended by sensors, so that they advance to intelligent medical measurement devices, which allow patients to participate in diagnosis and therapy on their own. This platform project will introduce some systems, which already have reached a technical stage of maturity, and it furthermore indicates developments, which will result in a modern medicine based on microelectronics.”

The design of the end consumer handheld product comprises a modular as well as all-in-one solution for smartphones. For the modular design concept the smartphone model can be freely chosen, the model Sony Xperia Arc S (3D package data provided) has be taken into consideration for the all-in-one version. For the different bio-medical functions to be covered, relevant 3D package data will be provided.

Project descriptions:

Analysis of products on the world market, study of existing electronic modules packaging (will be provided during platform project’s briefing), designing for a modular system and/or an all-in-one solution for a Smartphone, rendering of the final design solutions, optional making a short video for communicating the new product advantages.
