Die richtige Touchscreen Technologie für das beste Produkt

Multi-touch PCAP or GFG ULTRA

Developments in the field of imaging and computer-aided surgery, as well as the increased use of patient monitoring systems in intensive care, indicate the direction of the development that has already begun.

In any case, the implementation of a touch screen in a medical device increases its complexity, as touch screens have a strong influence on the other components of a medical device.

"There are a wide variety of touch technologies. But which is the "best" technology for medical technology depends specifically on the very specific requirements that have to be taken into account for the respective devices and applications." Christian Kühn, Glass Film Glass Technology Expert
An important component of a touchscreen is its controller, which has a considerable influence on the functionality and usability of a touchscreen. It should be noted that controllers used in resistive touchscreens work and need to be adjusted differently than controllers in projected capacitive touch panels.

For example, multi-touch capable PCAP touchscreens require very precise controllers that not only capture unlimited touch points, but also ignore unintentional touches in order to process only the desired touches.

The right technology for the best product.

  • Resistive GFG touchscreens
  • Projects capacitive touchscreens
  • Application-specific requirements in medical technology
  • Important questions to ask to determine the best touch solution
  • Best ergonomics thanks to intelligent user interfaces

A very important aspect in the development of touch systems for medical devices is patient safety and the associated need for efficient risk management according to ISO 14971.
