IT’IS Foundation – Innovative scientific research to shape the future for the safe and beneficial application of electromagnetic (EM) energy in health and information technologies.

Founded in 1999, activities at IT’IS encompass interconnected initiatives ranging from engineering to medicine – EM Research, the Virtual Population, and IT’IS for Health.

IT’IS is the master for evaluations of near-field EM emissions, including those near radiating structures or inside the human body, from static fields to millimeter wave frequencies.

The IT’IS Virtual Population is the best detailed and validated library of computational human anatomical phantoms available for in silico device design, optimization, and evaluation

To bridge the gap from bench to bedside, IT’IS focuses on multi-physics, multi-scale simulation methods to optimize individual diagnostic, treatment planning, and therapeutic techniques

IT'IS also applies its knowhow and infrastructure to provide customized research solutions to academia, the wireless/medical device industries, governments, and regulatory bodies.

IT’IS Foundation Zurich Switzerland -
A Member of Z43.

Unified SAR Measurement Standard Moves Forward; 5G and IoT Standards Also Progress

Last week during IEC and IEEE joint meetings in New Jersey, the unified SAR measurement standard IEC/IEEE 62209-1528 passed another milestone towards completion. Publication is expected later this year. Two committee drafts (CDs) for exposure assessment of 5G millimeter-wave devices were positively received and are in preparation for the next stage. The IEEE Guide 1528.7 for IoT devices will complete its first draft in June.
