Enabling
Improved Care
In medical and healthcare applications
Murata’s medical MEMS sensors enable
improved care and a better quality of life
for patients and elderly people.
Medical sensors increase the intelligence of life supporting
transplants, and they can be used in new types of patient
monitoring applications that allow patients to leadmore
independent lives. Detecting signals triggered by symptoms
helps optimize medication and prevent serious attacks of illness.
Murata’s unique MEMS design, which combines single
crystal silicon and glass, ensures exceptional reliability,
unprecedented accuracy and excellent stability over time. The
power requirements of these medical sensors are extremely
low, which gives them a significant advantage in small
battery-operated devices.
As the leading supplier of activity sensors for pace-makers
Murata also offers a wide range of pressure sensors,
accelerometers, inclinometers and gyroscopes for various
demanding medical and healthcare applications. Device
developers and manufacturers of many existing and emerging
healthcare applications have been able to reach their power
and size requirements thanks to Murata’s MEMS technology.
