Smart specialisation concept in metrology for blood and intraocular pressure measurements

Metrology for medical devices represents for many national metrology institutes (NMIs) a challenging field. Although the required uncertainties might be many folds worse than in case of industrial or fundamental metrology, the medical metrology requires not only quantity specific knowledge, but also...

Description
Summary:Metrology for medical devices represents for many national metrology institutes (NMIs) a challenging field. Although the required uncertainties might be many folds worse than in case of industrial or fundamental metrology, the medical metrology requires not only quantity specific knowledge, but also understanding of the medical or physiological background of the quantities measured. This creates for many smaller NMIs an obstacle in providing traceability to these measuring instruments. To improve the situation in this field by Smart Specialisation Concept, three projects within European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research were initiated.
