There is an increasing demand for printed electronics in the healthcare sector. Printed electronics are used together with sensors to track the heart rate, ECG, temperature, glucose, hydration and pressure. The challenge is to understand the materials and manufacturing processes, develop effective printing patterns, developing small and flexible electronic components in a cost-efficient and sustainable way.
Benelis engineers challenged the intended solution and could through its material expertise and knowledge contributed to a better solution. The layer structure was reduced by 45%, while still having the same function and characteristics as the original.
