The functionality of a smartwatch combined with the features of a hearing aid – Sonion combines both in components and solutions for hearing aids. In addition to high-quality micro-acoustic solutions for hearables, the Danish company designs and develops technologies for hearing systems with the mission of helping people to listen to each other, their bodies, the environment and the world. <\/p>\n
The realization of innovative ideas for the hearing aid industry is part of the company’s philosophy. One example of this is BiometRIC\u2122, a hearing aid component that enables continuous, real-time medical monitoring in the ear canal. The component, which is designed as a Receiver in Canal (RIC), is able to measure biometric data of wearers in order to detect, among others, cardiovascular disorders at an early stage. In future, users will be able to access this real-time measurement data and analysis via an app. Modern frameworks, such as React.Native, also enable the perspective operation of Android.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

First joint steps<\/div><\/h2><\/div>Initially, Sonion used the turnkey solution PUMA for Android to test the functionality. The problem: “We wanted our own app for iOS that would fit our requirements and our company perfectly,” reports Kees van Dashorst, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Hearing Health at Sonion. <\/p>\n
Specifically, a high-quality health app with individual functions and data protection guidelines was to complement Sonion’s portfolio. “So I was looking for a company that develops medical apps for iOS and handles the data provided in the same way as the Android version.” <\/p>\n
At MEDICA 2019, Kees van Dashorst contacted experts for the development of software solutions – including BAYOOMED. Not only the presentation as an exhibitor on site, but also the BAYOOMED team convinced him. “It quickly became clear to me that BAYOOMED is very familiar with the development of medical apps. The references also showed that,” says Kees van Dashorst. “BAYOOMED fitted the profile that Sonion was looking for in app development.” BAYOOMED was able to prevail against two other companies in the pitch and the project began.<\/p>\n<\/div>
