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.

Smart Floors Gain Intelligent Data Using Interface Sensor Technologies
Interface provides sensor technologies, including load cells, wireless telemetry system devices, and instrumentation that integrate easily into smart floor systems, offering invaluable insights for various IoT applications for healthcare, energy savings, building management, retail traffic monitoring and safety.

Small Sensors Make Big In-Home Healthcare Impact
Interface Mini Load Cells are used for in-home healthcare device testing and integrated measurement solutions into lifts, physical therapy equipment, infusion pumps and devices used outside a hospital setting. Interface has a long history of providing the medical and healthcare industry with force measurement products for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and in-home healthcare applications.

Measuring the Potential of IoT Wearables Using Load Cell Technology
Interface load cells provide valuable measurement data in real-time to product engineers and users of IoT wearables. Load cells are popular in designing, prototyping, testing, and using wearable IoT products, including shoes, sports gear, prosthetics, watches, and gaming headsets. They offer a highly accurate and reliable way to measure force, pressure, and weight. Our measurement devices are being designed into wearables such as smart clothing and augmented reality equipment, including headsets and fitness equipment for precision measurement during use.
