by Rebeka Shols Here’s what to expect at a Bootstrapper’s Breakfast meeting: Instead of having a main speaker or panel, these meetings are set up as a round table discussion, where anyone can ask questions and anyone can give their input. Even the more introverted people can feel comfortable here because you can choose to [...]

In This Issue: Electronic Nose In much the same way as dogs with their keen sense of smell can be trained to detect odors, electronic devices can be built to perform this same task. "Electronic sensing" technology has applications in quality control, health care, crime and safety, and environmental monitoring. Check out these new sensors [...]
In much the same way as dogs with their keen sense of smell can be trained to detect odors, electronic devices can be built to perform this same task. "Electronic sensing" technology has applications in quality control, health care, crime and safety, and environmental monitoring. In health care, we are seeing new innovations in technology [...]
MDT's Spencer Chin covered our session at the 2018 Medical Sensors Design Conference in San Jose. He highlighted the platform's advantage to achieve lower cost rapid prototyping in his article Innovation Not Just For Startup Companies. One company involved in new product and system integration is Voler Systems. Formed in 1999, the company has developed [...]
Today's Medical Developments recently featured Voler's new Universal Health-sensor Platform in an article "Universal health-sensor platform." Data gathering is critical to accelerating product development in medical devices. The article highlights the key advantages to using the Voler platform for collecting sensor data in medical wearable devices: Fast low-cost development, because the platform is pre-engineered to [...]
Innovation means driving change. Every change starts with an idea, a vision of what could happen that would create a tangible benefit for an organization. Driving change can be difficult, but often "intrapreneurs" see a need and then gather limited resources to transform that vision into a new reality. These individuals need a fast, efficient [...]
The human body is a complex dynamic system that offers researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators a wealth of data. Future advances in medical devices will be based on gathering and leveraging this data. This webinar covers making measurements with a prototype. The focus is on getting a quick prototype to test the sensor, the location on [...]
