MCGs utilizing our quantum sensor technology will have the potential to not only excel with highly accurate readings but also provide user-friendly operation and robust performance. Whether in stationary equipment for medical practices and emergency rooms or mobile devices for long-term monitoring at home – the possibilities and benefits are remarkable.
Medical Applications
Magneto-cardiograms and controlof prostheses
Extremely sensitive, compact, and portable
Transforming medical diagnostics and prosthetics
The unique properties of our magnetic-field quantum sensors open up exciting possibilities in medical diagnostics and assistive technologies. In cardiology, for example, they promise to redefine how we monitor and understand heart health through magnetocardiograms, combining accurate readings with unparalleled simplicity of use. In assistive technologies, they pave the way for groundbreaking advancements in prosthesis control, from detecting the most subtle muscle signals to enabling sophisticated brain-computer interfaces.
Medical Applications
Magneto-
cardiogram (MCG)
Extremely sensitive and accurate
Similar to a conventional electrocardiogram (ECG), a magneto-cardiogram (MCG) also measures the electrical activity of the heart muscle cells. However, instead of picking up the electrical signals directly, an MCG detects the magnetic field they generate. This method accurately reflects the heart’s electrophysiological excitation, while being less affected by various body tissues and fluids. Coupled with its superior spatial resolution, an MCG therefore provides more detailed and accurate measurements than an ECG, allowing for the detection of even the most subtle signs of serious conditions like heart attacks or oxygen deficiency.
Contactless and robust application
Unlike ECGs, which require electrodes to be attached to the skin, MCGs can be performed without direct skin contact – even through clothing – and with virtually no setup time. This enhances efficiency, saves valuable time, and reduces the risk of skin irritation, discomfort, and issues related to poor electrode contact, which are often caused by sweat or patient movement. Thanks to their superior measuring technology, MCGs ensure accurate readings regardless of sensor alignment or exact positioning, offering great potential to enhance diagnostic precision and increase the likelihood of early detection.
Partners wanted
Do we make your heart beat faster?
We are looking for medical technology companies eager to push the boundaries of cardiac diagnostics to collaborate with us on the development of an MCG device based on our quantum sensors – from initial prototyping all the way to market entry. Highly sensitive, extremely accurate, robust, and easy to use, our MCG sensor solutions are set to redefine cardiac diagnostics.
Medical Applications
Control of Prostheses
The unique properties of magnetic-field quantum sensors also create intriguing new possibilities in assistive technologies. Our non-invasive measuring method will be able to detect the subtle magnetic signals of muscle contractions, not only from the upper muscle layers but also from deeper layers. As current myoelectric sensors face limitations in accessing these signals, our sensors have the potential to pave the way for a more refined, natural control of prostheses. As we advance our technology, we aim to develop brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that interpret brain-generated magnetic fields, offering unprecedented control over prosthetic devices.
