A Medical Product Success Story: Wearable X-ray sensor
In 2008 Hi-Bit was engaged by a European firm to co-develop a wearable X-ray sensor, which notifies the doctors wearing it of excessive radiation,helping them to avoid harm.
The high-tech sensor connects via RF with the server, is worn on the chest and is extremely small in size, light weight, and boosts a long battery life.
Hi-bit has provided engineering support on design, tooling, molding,die casting, sourcing, final assembly and testing.
Technologies used:·
