The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, headquartered in Erlangen, Germany, is the largest institute within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and conducts cutting-edge research in microelectronic and IT system solutions. Its work focuses on two main areas. In Audio and Media Technologies, the institute has been a leader in the digitalization of media for over 30 years. In Cognitive Sensor Technologies, research includes sensor technology, data transmission, data analysis methods, and the development of data-driven services and business models.
In its Medical Sensing & Analytics research focus area, Fraunhofer IIS develops solutions for the reliable collection, analysis, and utilization of medical data. Research activities range from the development of miniaturized and textile-integrated sensor systems, through multimodal data acquisition and intelligent data analysis, to the design and conduct of human subject studies under real-world conditions. Technologies include capacitive sensors in seating and lying surfaces, the CardioTEXTIL multi-channel textile ECG for continuous arrhythmia monitoring, and the maphera® mobile research platform for the multimodal acquisition of synchronized physiological, motion-related, and environmental data. By combining sensor technology, data science, and application validation, Fraunhofer IIS supports innovation projects from the initial idea through to practical implementation.
