Making small intestine endoscopy faster with a pill-sized high-tech camera

2001 the first endoscopic capsule took its journey through the small intestine of a human patient. With its miniature camera, the capsule captured thousands of images of the small bowel. six meters of winding intestine had long prevented normal endoscopic diagnostics in this region of the digestive system. Since this breakthrough, capsule endoscopy has become the norm, made possible with a range of different capsule designs.

High-Tech Fashion – art and science for the clothes of tomorrow

For most people, the word "fashion" evokes thoughts of cuts, colors and patterns - but why not of live evaluations of vital functions or training sessions for rehabilitation patients? Up to now, products of the fashion industry have been largely analogous. The project Re-FREAM, however, was created to design smart clothes in the digital area.

Working Groups

Technologies for Bioelectronics

We design and fabricate active neural interfaces. We integrate small custom-designed electronics into microsystems for stimulation of and recording from the neural tissue. Our microsystems are often flexible implants based on biocompatible materials tailored for the central or peripheral nervous system.
