Heidelberg, Germany – November 12, 2021 – InnovationLab, the expert in printed electronics "from lab to fab", announces that it will be attending MEDICA, the world-leading medical trade fair, in Düsseldorf from November 15^th to 18^th. InnovationLab will be showing its portfolio of printed and organic electronics at Hall 15, booth H16, with a focus on sensors in healthcare.

At MEDICA, visitors to InnovationLab’s booth will be able to see a number of demos, giving an insight into the advantages of flexible and thin electronics for the medical sector. This includes a smart mattress cover to prevent pressure sores, a smart carpet for various monitoring systems, and an example of its sensors in smart textiles, with a T-shirt with a sensor patch.

InnovationLab will also be demonstrating OccluSense®, a product from Bausch that uses integrated flexible, printed pressure sensors from InnovationLab. OccluSense® combines conventional and digital occlusion control, by digitally recording the pressure distribution during the biting process, using indiscernible sensors printed on thin foils.

Another use case is a smart drainage catheter, developed in co-operation with accensors, a business unit of InnoME GmbH. This monitors inflammation parameters near a wound during medical procedures, using flexible, printed foil sensors.

"Printed sensors can be processed on ultra-thin and flexible substrates, making them ideal for integration into medical packaging, products or devices,” said Luat Nguyen, Managing Director at InnovationLab. "They can be used in a huge range of healthcare applications, including tracking the amount of medication used, preventing bed sores with pressure sensors, and improving walking behavior in Parkinson’s patients with intelligent shoe soles."
