ongoing

Fully Implantable, Rechargeable Neurostimulator with EKG, EEG, ENG and Bioelectrical Impedance analysis for Breath-Detection, Food Intake, etc.
Design of a similar medical implant as described 2012 – 2017, see below, but updated concept with Off-The-Shelf-components and State-of-the-Art public available Standard Protocols, Open-Source Software and Hardware, IoT cloud connectivity, App development for Data-Presentation (EKG, Bio-Impedance) and Remote-Fitting / Programming of Stimulation Parameters.

Design & Engineering Projects at Flex(tronics)

2017 - 2021

Design and development of handheld battery-operated multidose auto-injectors, breath activated inhalators, loggers for insulin pen, and continuous glucose meters with RFID, Bluetooth, LTE NB IoT cloud-connectivity for well-known pharma companies. Manufacturing through-put annually: 50 million units or 50 thousand units, each unit comprises 50 or 1000 components.

Fully Implantable, Rechargeable Neurostimulator with EKG, EEG, ENG and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis for Breath Detection
Electronics hardware and firmware (MSP430) development for implant, wireless charger, and wireless communication units. The external wireless transceiver communicates bidirectional via USB to a PC/Laptop. The PC user software is programmed in .Net.  For human application hermetically sealed housing concepts are under development in Ceramics (Al2O3) and Titanium. For lab experiments up to one year duration, a special cost efficient encapsulation technology with epoxy-resin [medical grade] under vacuum and specifically developed pre-cleaning processes were implemented and successfully tested.
