University of Waterloo Capstone Tackles Physical Strain in Medical Imaging
Interface case study highlights the LARS project by the Capstone Symposium Team at the University of Waterloo. The Load Assistance for Reduced-Strain Sonography medical solution is a semi-robotic articulated arm engineered to aid with probe force application while keeping the sonographer fully in control of the procedure. The medical system, using an Interface load cell, integrates directly into existing clinical workflows and provides assistive support without disrupting the established scanning methods of the medical professional.

Load Cell Contribution to Accurate Medical Scales
Scales using load cell technology to convert applied force into a precise electrical signal improve the accuracy of weighing. Medical scales use Interface's load cell technology for pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation, patient mobility, lifts, medical devices, and general health monitoring.

Adopting Sensor Technology for Prosthetic Advancements
Interface load cells and multi-axis sensors are utilized in the development, design, and testing of modern prosthetics, resulting in a more natural and intuitive user experience. By accurately measuring weight, forces, and torque, these sensors provide essential real-time feedback to help in design, customization, durability testing, material tests and analysis. Miniature load cells in a prosthetic hand design test can detect the amount of force being applied, preventing objects from slipping or being crushed. Prosthetic limbs must be tested for extreme loading that can occur during falls, accidents, and sports movements.
