About the Swiss MedTech Expo

This event is the trade fair and symposium for Europe’s third-largest medtech market.

“Here, decision-makers from manufacturing companies meet with leading system and component suppliers, specialized service providers, and research and educational institutes. Swiss Medtech Expo thus covers the entire value chain. Around 180 exhibitors will demonstrate in an application-oriented manner where medical technology currently stands and what is new in the areas of designs, materials, technologies and processes.” Source: Swiss MedTech Expo’s website

Why core body temperature monitoring is so important for the future of medical technology?

Core body temperature is a vital parameter for monitoring an individual’s health status and refers to the body’s organs’ temperature. It fluctuates following physiological processes, such as physical activity, circadian and ovulation rhythm, or various illnesses and sleeping disorders. Other technologies on the market intend to estimate core body temperature via skin surface temperature. However, due to the complexity of thermal regulation and the thermal influences from changing environmental conditions and physical activity, this estimate does not come close to greenteg’s core body temperature monitor accuracy and reliability.
