In designing, manufacturing and gaining approval for wireless vital signs monitors and electrodes/sensors, ST+D uses a number of core skills. These include :

• Compact, lightweight, wireless telemetry.
• Cellular phone-based communications for immediate data transfer to the clinician.
• Low power consumption electronics enabling body-worn devices to operate for up to a week.
• Cardiology including expert algorithms to automatically identify significant cardiac events.
• Body sensors and low level signal processing to pick up various vital signs with minimum noise.
• Science of the skin including long term non-irritant materials.
• AAMI standard and certification.
• Screen printing solid gel electrode manufacture in any shape.
• Clinical trials of medical devices in controlled conditions with suitable numbers of relevant patients.
• Defibrillation electrodes including low noise, high stability and quick recovery times.
• Medical systems approval – FDA and CE.
