Intricon, a developer and manufacturer of medical devices powered by smart miniaturised electronics, has named Darren Gilmer senior manager of a new biosensors medical device product development team in the company’s Biosensors Center of Excellence (CoE). 

Since announcing its CoE last month, Intricon has engaged in several new biosensor initiatives, according to Dave Liebl, chief commercial and technology officer at Intricon.

Liebl said: “This new team is focused on helping companies with biosensor device designs get their devices to market faster, keeping Design for Manufacturing, quality and regulatory requirements in mind every step of the way.”

Gilmer was most recently senior manager of manufacturing engineering at Intricon. He has three decades of experience growing the company’s expertise in creating sensor-driven devices.

Gilmer said: “The biosensor device market is very complex. There’s not yet agreement on definitions and standardisations, for example, which makes it challenging to bring a new device to operability or convert a consumer biosensor device for a medical application.”
