Leonardo Bilalis, a PhD student at the University of Piraeus, Greece, is working on a project creating a 3D-printed medical mask called "AMARYSIA ARTEMIS," incorporating an intelligent round display from 4D Systems. This advanced mask, designed for use in intensive care units (ICUs), integrates several biometric sensors, offering immediate sensor data for medical applications. The team faced challenges with the geometric design and integration of the display within the mask. They selected the Smart pixxiLCD-13P2 display from 4D Systems, which offered on-board smart graphics, embedded drivers, and a variety of display tools. The project underscores the potential of additive manufacturing in customising medical equipment to enhance patient care.
Caretaker Medical, a digital health company, has developed VitalStream, a wireless wearable monitor improving patient outcomes by measuring continuous 'beat-by-beat' blood pressure, vital signs and hemodynamics. This technology, conceived over several years, is aimed at enhancing patient comfort, communication capabilities, clinician workflow, and importantly, the accuracy of measurements. To facilitate an intuitive user interface, a suitable touch display was needed, which would be located on the patient's wrist for easy configuration and operation, a feature not previously available in older versions of the VitalStream platform. Compliance with rigorous standard operating procedures (SOPs) and healthcare regulations is critical throughout this design process.
Team Solarium, a group of Indian undergraduate engineering students, are developing a solar electric vehicle for the ESVC3000, Asia's largest Electric Solar Vehicle Championship, using 4D SYSTEMS' display unit SK-GEN4-43DCT-CLB. Chosen for its low power, lightweight properties, and user-friendly interface, this display will enable easy driver interaction and integration with the vehicle's CAN bus. Located on the dashboard behind the steering wheel, the display will help the driver monitor key vehicle parameters. Their ultimate ambition is to compete in the World Solar Challenge, highlighting their commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions in transportation.
Historic Hotel in Fort Worth Texas Digitally Transformed with Smart Display Solutions from Australia
The Sinclair Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, has transformed a 1900s building into a fully digital, high-tech environment, thanks to IoT technologies from companies such as Intel, Cisco, NuLEDs, and Igor-Tech. 4D SYSTEMS played a key role in the digital infrastructure, providing custom-designed intelligent display modules that allow guests to control various aspects of their environment, including room temperature, lighting, and window shades. These interfaces create a bridge between the data-driven infrastructure and the user, enhancing the guest experience. This digital retrofitting also contributes to significant energy savings, aligning with sustainability goals. 4D SYSTEMS offers custom solutions for building automation projects, showcasing its capacity to adapt to specific needs and specifications.
