Healthcare wearable solutions & HMI

Transforming patient care through innovation

Key aspects of medical care include treating patients with dignity and care, ensuring their comfort and privacy, which of course includes monitoring and diagnostics. So at Quad Industries, we design and produce advanced printed electronics, membrane switches, and capacitive touch sensors for medical devices and wearable health applications. Our expertise helps product managers, R&D directors, and procurement teams bring safe, reliable, and comfortable solutions to market — faster and with uncompromising quality.

Transforming patient care with innovative, comfortable, and cost-effective medical skin patch solutions that boost efficiency and quality of care across healthcare environments.

Medical skin patches & diagnostic electrodes

Electronic skin patches are reshaping healthcare by enabling continuous monitoring and diagnostics, such as:

  • Cardiovascular monitoring (ECG)

  • Brain activity analysis (EEG)

  • Muscle activity monitoring (EMG)

  • Diabetes management

  • Stimulation electrodes

Among other diagnostic and therapeutic uses.

Key advantages of our medical skin patches

  • Flexible & comfortable
    We develop thin, flexible electronic circuits that move naturally with the skin, ensuring comfort and wearability.

  • Long-lasting & skin-friendly
    Our patches use advanced substrates and biocompatible adhesives, designed for safe wear over multiple weeks without irritation across diverse skin types. In our dedicated skin lab we test and develop adhesive technologies that perform reliably on different skin conditions, from aging or sensitive skin to perspiring or hair-covered areas.

  • Regulatory excellence
    All solutions are developed under ISO 13485-certified processes, ensuring medical-grade compliance and patient safety.

  • From prototype to production
    Whether you need small-batch prototyping or large-scale manufacturing, our agile processes and global facilities deliver scalability with consistent quality.

Case Study

Our client TMSi, a company specializing in EEG and HD-EMG research,
wanted to advance muscle activity monitoring by creating a new
textile HD-EMG grid that would address the limitations of using
rigid traditional grids.

These innovative textile grids are made with a flexible material that forms perfectly to the skin, minimizing the chance of movement artifacts during muscle contractions and dynamic movements even when measuring difficult muscle locations. Additionally, the pre-applied double-sided adhesive makes preparation
quicker and easier. The client turned to Quad facing challenges getting all necessary circuitry printed on a small flexible material from other developers. Through our extensive research and optimization of various
components such as substrate, mesh, screen, and paste, we managed
to screen print conductive tracks as narrow as a few micrometers with
minimal spacing. While the assignment was challenging, by applying our yearlong experience in screen printing electronics and our skilled operators, we managed to push the boundaries of this technology.

Screen-printed electrodes & biosensors

We support healthcare companies in developing diagnostic and therapeutic electrodes, including:

  • Multi-layer printed electrodes
  • Biosensors for advanced monitoring
  • Electrodes tailored to wearable device integration

Thanks to our flexible production capabilities, we can handle any stage ranging from small pilot runs to high-volume batches, providing key assistance at every stage of your go-to market journey.

Membrane switches for healthcare devices

Membrane switches remain a proven HMI solution in medical environments:

  • Durability & reliability: Fully sealed designs with rigorous life-cycle testing.
  • Hygiene & cleanability: IP67 water resistance and antimicrobial coatings ensure safe use with disinfectants.
  • Tactile feedback: Metal domes and polydomes give precise user response — essential when medical staff keep focus on patients.

Capacitive touch sensors for medical devices

Capacitive technology enables intuitive, design-driven interfaces. Quad Industries develops custom capacitive touch panels optimized for medical use:

  • Anti-glare / anti-reflection: Reliable visibility in all lighting conditions.
  • Backlighting: Clear feedback with translucent conductive inks and LED integration.
  • Glove-proof: Seamless operation with disposable medical gloves.

These sensors combine usability and branding flexibility in one solution.

Co-creation & advice

Co-creation is how we work. We challenge assumptions, ask the right questions and share insights gained from previous projects to help customers avoid pitfalls.

R&D

R&D at Quad is about exploring what’s possible before committing to what’s buildable. Through applied research, material testing and participation in innovation programs, we deepen our understanding of new technologies and emerging applications.

This knowledge feeds future projects and helps customers make informed choices early on.

Engineering

Engineering is where ideas are translated into concrete designs. Our engineers define architectures, layouts and technical details that balance functionality, performance and feasibility.

Every decision is made with downstream production and real-world use in mind.

Prototyping

Prototyping is about learning fast. We create functional samples and proof-of-concepts to test assumptions, compare options and validate critical parameters.

This hands-on phase reduces uncertainty before committing to final designs or production.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing is where reliability is proven. In our European production facilities, we produce both low-volume and series runs with full control over critical processes such as printing, assembly and precision cutting.

This allows us to deliver consistent quality while managing cost, yield and lead times.
