Sensium is a new ultra-low-power modular wireless infrastructure for health and lifestyle monitoring applications.
Toumaz was assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of this standard by SGS.
ISO 13485 is a regulatory requirement in a number of international markets for the manufacture of medical devices and forms the cornerstone for the CE certification of medical products in the EU.
Meeting the ISO quality management standard is a crucial milestone in the ongoing commercialisation of Sensium, Toumaz' ultra-low power wireless platform for the development of nonintrusive body monitors for healthcare and lifestyle markets.
In November 2007, Toumaz took the top honours in the Electronics category of the Innovation in Engineering Awards - given by The Institution of Engineering and Technology - in recognition of Sensium as an enabling technology for highly valuable medical applications.
The combination of ultra-low power wireless and signal processing in one small system-on-chip (SOC) allows the economies of scale of the semiconductor industry to be harnessed to provide highly functional, robust, low-cost, disposable and nonintrusive monitors for a wide range of healthcare applications.
The Sensium sensor interface and transceiver platform enables real-time, intelligent, ultra-low power wireless monitoring of multiple vital signs - such as ECG, heart rate, body temperature, respiration and physical activity (via a three-axis accelerometer), and is currently being developed in both disposable and nondisposable body monitoring products.
