We are proud to have our latest medical technology solutions featured in a recent episode of Great Gear. The episode, filmed on location at MEDTEC 2017 in Japan, highlights our viewphii series of medical IoT solutions for non-invasive body monitoring and our 8K imaging technology for remote healthcare applications.

Great Gear is broadcast on NHK World, the international arm of Japan’s largest broadcast network.  You can watch the segment on the NHK website here (available on-demand for free until July 6, 2017 and by subscription after that date). Jump to around the 8:00 minute mark for the start of the Socionext segment.

Socionext Medical Technology Solutions Highlighted by Great Gear

Here is an overview of the Socionext products that Great Gear reporter Akira Daniel Duncan highlights from MEDTECH 2017:

viewphii integrated medical IoT solution

The Socionext viewphii solution is a handheld ultrasonic sensing device capable of measuring critical biometric data. The device delivers body composition information using ultra-sound imaging as well as continuous blood pressure and electrocardiograph monitoring.

Socionext viewphii MEDTEC

Weighing in at just 150 grams, viewphii is ideal for home use, clinics, ambulances and medevac helicopters.

Ultraportable electrocardiograph and continuous blood pressure monitor

Another medical IoT solution featured in the Great Gear episode is our ultraportable electrocardiograph for monitoring heart rate and blood pressure. The device is fit on the torso, not attached at the ankle or wrist like traditional models, and can be worn and operated continuously (24/7).

The Socionext continuous blood pressure monitor is worn on a finger and monitors patient blood pressure in real time. The device is suitable for use in surgery, intensive care units, and during dialysis treatments.

8K endoscope imaging system

Also on display at MEDTEC 2017 was our 8K endoscope imaging system. Socionext's proprietary codecs allow for high-resolution and high-speed image transmission for remote surgery and other telemedical applications where optimal video quality is essential.

Socionext offers both H.264 (AVC) Full-HD and H.265 (HEVCC) Ultra-HD encoding solutions.
