Health surveillance for patients at home, permanent monitoring for high blood pressure and insect bite prevention: at an INSIGHT event organised by Iftest and the Swiss Medtech association, the focus was on concrete applications in the area of digital health.

Iftest apprentices Vanessa Petrovic and Alessio Loppo have completed their commercial apprenticeships with flying colours – congratulations! The two young businesspeople form part of Iftest’s long history of successful apprenticeships. The company takes on two new commercial apprentices and two new apprentice electronics engineers each year.

Over the last few years, Iftest has been able to achieve a sustained increase in efficiency thanks to the systematic introduction of LEAN concepts. On 7 June 2018, alumni of the Higher College of Technology Mittelland (HFTM) came for a tour of the company conducted together with experts from LEANCOM, to learn how this was achieved.

Taking place from 28 to 30 August 2018 at the BERNEXPO, SINDEX is the principal trade fair in Switzerland for industrial automation and electrical engineering. As a driver of innovation, Iftest is personally inviting key figures in this seminal field – and thanks to complimentary Iftest tickets, they’ll attend for free. At the Iftest trade fair stand C09 in hall B2.2, you’ll learn from our experts first-hand how we support our national and international customers as an EMS partner at the technological forefront of medical and industrial electronics.

Iftest has just launched the very first MedTech Networking Event at the Technopark Zurich in collaboration with the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) and Technopark Zurich. The event, which took place on 26th April was a success, with more than 70 participants from research, education and business backgrounds attending. We were delighted to meet influential representatives from start-ups, SMEs, engineering companies, pharmaceutical companies, the medical technology field as well as representatives from hospitals using new digital technologies, including University Hospital Zurich and the Schulthess Clinic. The variety and quality of the attendees made for lively, insightful and fascinating presentations providing real food-for-thought to all.
