Expertise & Infrastructure |
The IT'IS Foundation designs and validates devices containing electrically small, resonant and non-resonant antennas, which can accommodate anatomical variations while respecting safety regulations. IT'IS calls on decades of experience in antenna development and safety assessment, as well as detailed knowledge about the intricacies of regulatory agencies and the corresponding processes due to their active participation and membership in IEC/ISO standard groups. The group’s exposure assessment laboratories are equipped with the most advanced tools including the cSARD6 and cSAR3D (left/right/flat/quad), the latest DASY6 RX90L with DASY52NEO licenses, and a wide range of specialized probes. With more than 100 SemCAD/Sim4Life licenses, including the Virtual Population 3.x and multiple animal models, and several High Performance Computers (HPC) ranging from Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) clusters to supercomputers, our interdisciplinary research team can tackle highly specific and complex research tasks with superior innovation and efficiency – while ensuring compliance to national and international standards.

Solutions Beyond State-of-the-Art |
Wireless biomedical and wearable devices, whether implanted (e.g., pacemakers, deep brain stimulators (DBS), electroceuticals), or body-worn (e.g., glucose monitors, hearing aids, wireless body area network (WBAN) devices), face unique challenges in their design and safety assessment, and require customized solutions for wireless communication as well as power transfer. IT'IS is eager to work with potential partners to develop and evaluate the efficacy and safety of such novel technologies.
