Dr. Steve Stoffels
Steve Stoffels is an experienced professional and entrepreneur in the tech sector, with over 15 years of experience. He received his M.Sc. degree (Magna Cum Laude) in applied physics at the University of Eindhoven in 2001. In 2000, he was a visiting scholar at Stanford university in California, researching computational acoustics. After several years working in the industry, he returned to research and received the degree of Doctor in Engineering (Ph.D.) from the Catholic university of Leuven in 2010, for his thesis on microfabricated resonators. Until 2019 he worked on bringing a high power GaN technology for switching applications from the lab to the fab; coordinating and executing activities related to design, modelling, reliability and technology development for novel device concepts. He has coordinated more than ten national and international projects, contributed to the European roadmap for high power electronics and from 2017 to 2019 he was member of IRPS technical committee for wide bandgap semiconductors. Currently, he is co-founder and CTO of Pulsify Medical, a high-tech medical device company working on bringing an innovative ultrasound monitoring system to the market. He oversees the overall technology development strategy, leads the technology department, develops critical technology & manufacturing partnerships and is chief system designer for Pulsify Medical.
Pulsify’s Smart Ultrasound Patch: Sensor Technology for Efficient Monitoring of Patient Status
Pulsify is developing an ultrasound monitoring patch, for long term and remote monitoring of patient status, with a first application in cardiac. At the core of our innovation is a novel ultrasound sensor, which has been developed in collaboration with imec. In our talk we will highlight the sensor technology and performance.
Pulsify Medical
Pulsify medical is a medical device company, focused on developing a body-worn ultrasound monitor for long term monitoring of physiological parameters. Our first application is cardiac monitoring inside a hospital setting and for home-care.
