Medical and mobility sensors

With the increased use of electronics in medical equipment, access to the best health care has been improved for more people. At the same time, safety and cost concerns and have raised including telemedicine and IOT (The internet of things).
Piher sensors and controls are succesfully providing responsive operation, compatibility with many existing controllers, and helping meet faster the specifications required by the most demanding regulations.
