When Standard Solutions Fall Short<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As a leading player in medical technology, Echosens, constantly strives for excellence. But during the development of a new system featuring a glass capacitive keyboard, they encountered several critical issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n
  • False activations and failed compliance testing<\/li>\n\n\n
  • Limited design flexibility<\/li>\n\n\n
  • Uneven and inconsistent backlighting<\/li>\n\n\n
  • issues during cleaning<\/li>\n\n\n
  • Limited multi-touch functionality (e.g., CTRL+ALT+DEL)<\/li>\n\n\n
  • Poor performance with gloves or moisture<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Their existing solution, based on a PCB-contact design, no longer met the technical and operational demands of modern medical environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

    The Discovery: Partnering with ClickTouch<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Looking for a technology partner with a hands-on, solution-driven mindset, Echosens turned to ClickTouch. With our extensive experience in medical and industrial touch solutions, we proposed a radically different approach: TouchPro: a fully flexible capacitive keyboard tailored to Echosens\u2019 specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Capkeyboard combined:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n

                \n\n
              • Validation guidance, prototyping, and full-system optimization<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                The Transformation: From Complex to Complete<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

                The collaboration delivered more than just a technical fix \u2014 it set a new benchmark in usability and reliability. Together with Echosens, we achieved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n
