Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to our long experience in microsystems technologies, we are able to develop sensors, actuators and MEMS, in particular, in connection with medical devices or in other application fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our activities combine diagnostic and therapeutic microsystems for personalized, predictive and preventive medicine, smart implants, connected medical devices, as well as the development of systems for ambient assisted living for a successful aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
