Bringing medical technology from innovation to patient care is slow and costly due to the complexity of the needed technologies and regulations. VTT’s pilot environment for medical devices, based on printed and flexible electronics and photonics technologies, accelerates the market entry of patient-friendly innovations.

The medical device pilot enables the production of small and middle-size prototype series for pre-clinical studies using advanced flexible electronics, photonics, microelectronic, and microfluidic components and integration manufacturing technologies. These technologies facilitate the development of comfortable-to-wear, skin-like wearable sensors combined with wireless communication and data processing functionalities.
Key application areas for the pilot line include preventive monitoring of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes, early cancer detection and recurrence, as well as rapid diagnostics.

Our Key Infrastructure:
State-of-the-art ISO7 cleanroom
Flatbed automatic screen printer with 500 mm x 500mm and Flatbed Computer-to-Screen (CtS) screen exposure system, UV and IR belt oven
