Innovative Microsensors for Medical and Environmental Applications

Abstract

Sensirion manufactures and ships more than 200 million sensors annually. In this presentation, I will first provide an overview of the advanced (micro-)technologies that make this possible. I will then zoom in on two specific applications – medical ventilation and refrigerant leakage detection – and outline the sensor technologies behind them.
