Medica 2022: Bittium Exhibits Its High-Tech Medical Technology Products and R&D Services

Oulu, Finland, November 10, 2022 – Bittium exhibits its innovative products and solutions for cardiology and neurophysiology, as well as R&D services for developing medical and healthcare technology, at the Medica 2022 event. It is the world’s biggest trade fair for the medical market, and it will be held in Düsseldorf, Germany on November 14-17, 2022.

Bittium’s team of Medical Technologies experts is showcasing advanced high-tech solutions for monitoring heart, brain, and sleep-related breathing disorders. The solutions enable early detection of abnormalities in the body’s electrical activities and sleep-disordered breathing, thus speeding up the diagnosis and further treatment of a patient. All Bittium’s cardiology and neurophysiology measurement solutions are integrated with the cloud-based back-end systems that enable the analysis of data regardless of location.

The latest addition to the offering of medical technology products on display at the event is our Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) solution which consists of a measuring device, analysis software, tailored accessories, and a service platform. This end-to-end solution utilizes artificial intelligence to speed up analysis work. The solution focuses on Home Sleep Apnea Testing and aims to record PG (polygraphy) level data and analyze typical sleep-related breathing disorders. Registration of sleep-disordered breathing at home is an easy, cost-effective, and quick way for a patient to find out if the patient suffers from a sleep-related breathing disorder and, if necessary, to get access to treatment quickly.
