Cardiac rhythm management company NewPace is embedding into its devices patented wireless charging technology from fellow Israeli firm Powermat Technologies, a provider of wireless equipment for medical devices and the IoT.

NewPace will license Powermat’s technology platform for its IoMT (internet of medical things) medical devices to power wirelessly the company’s life-saving cardiac rhythm product, providing seamless, sterile and safe access to power.

Powermat’s wireless chargers for medical devices are available to support a wide variety of devices, including neurostimulators, insulin pumps, sensors and remote healthcare monitoring devices, providing safe, efficient and easy-to-use power supplies. The company’s approach to providing wireless power for patients’ healthcare devices was designed to simplify patient care and reduce the need for hospital and clinic visits. By integrating wireless charging technology, battery size in existing devices may be reduced, decreasing weight and offering a more comfortable charging experience for patients.

“Medical devices and the IoMT are a great fit for Powermat’s technology,” said Elad Dubzinski, CEO of Powermat. “Patients need non-invasive charging for their critical care medical devices and emergency equipment that keeps their good health at bay. Powermat’s technology will now enable the users of NewPace’s medical devices with safe, fast and convenient wireless charging. We can’t wait to continue working with our partners to make wireless power a standard feature for medical devices and implantables.”

Powermat Technologies provides Qi-certified and proprietary wireless charging platforms for IoT, telecom (5G), automotive, robotics, consumer electronics, medical devices and industrial applications. The company’s wireless power platforms and IP licensing programme enables businesses to incorporate wireless power technology into their products and customise them for unique use cases.

The company’s wireless power technology can be found in more than 800 million smartphones, 40 million embedded accessories and eight million cars and is embedded by companies such as Samsung, LG, General Motors, Flex, Harman and Kyocera.
