Skin patch applications are proliferating based on sensor developments and remote monitoring by consumers and medical professionals who want instant information. Skin sensitivity and integration of adhesives into the sensor design will be a continuous challenge. These devices help with patient compliance for better outcomes.
Our latest thermal management design challenge was an external vision system that generates 10 watts of heat. Additionally, because Motionloft lives outside in the sun, solar loading added significantly more heat. Our engineers managed the heat by a mix of conductive, convective, and radiant techniques. Then we optimized the product for cost and reliability.
