The neurotechnology field is accelerating and EM (electromagnetic) sensors are at its core. Em sensors are no longer experimental or niche; they are fast becoming essential to next-generation medical devices that sense, stimulate, and interact directly with the brain.

From minimally invasive brain-computer interfaces to intelligent diagnostic implants, EM microcoils, resonant probes, and sensor arrays are enabling transformative use cases: real-time neural mapping, closed-loop therapeutic systems, and wireless precision implants for stroke, epilepsy, depression, and more.

But bringing these innovations to the market isn’t simple. Designing for performance is only one piece of the puzzle; teams must also engineer for MRI compatibility, EMI shielding, ultra-low power, biocompatibility, and scalable manufacturing.

This session invites MedTech engineers, product developers, and strategy leaders to rethink EM sensors as more than clever hardware. They are systems-level enablers, and realizing their potential requires deep cross-disciplinary collaboration between sensor developers, materials scientists, contract manufacturers, and clinical end-users.

Drawing on real-world insights from miniaturized EM sensor programs at Intricon and beyond, this talk will inspire attendees to think differently about the design, integration, and impact of EM sensors in the future of connected neurohealth.
