The functionality of a smartwatch combined with the features of a hearing aid\u2014Sonion brings both together in components and solutions for hearing aids. In addition to high-quality microacoustic solutions for hearables, the Danish company designs and develops technologies for hearing systems with a mission: to help people listen to one another, their bodies, their surroundings, and the world.<\/p>\n
Bringing innovative ideas to life for the hearing aid industry is part of the company\u2019s philosophy. One example of this is BiometRIC\u2122, a hearing aid component that enables continuous, real-time medical monitoring within the ear canal. Designed as a Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) device, this component is capable of measuring the wearer\u2019s biometric data to, among other things, detect cardiovascular diseases at an early stage. In the future, users will be able to access this real-time measurement data and analyses via an app. Modern frameworks, such as React.Native, also enable future support for Android. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

First joint steps<\/div><\/h2><\/div>Initially, Sonion used the PUMA turnkey solution for Android to test the functionality. The problem: \u201cWe wanted our own iOS app that would be tailored precisely to our needs and our company,\u201d says Kees van Dashorst, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Hearing Health at Sonion.<\/p>\n
Specifically, a high-quality health app with personalized features and privacy policies was intended to complement Sonion’s portfolio. “So I looked 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 reached out to experts in software solution development\u2014including BAYOOMED. He was impressed not only by BAYOOMED\u2019s on-site exhibition but also by its team. \u201cIt quickly became clear to me that BAYOOMED has extensive expertise in developing medical apps. Their references also demonstrated this,\u201d says Kees van Dashorst. \u201cBAYOOMED was a perfect fit for the profile Sonion was looking for in an app development partner.\u201d In the pitch, BAYOOMED prevailed over two other companies, and the project began.<\/p>\n<\/div>
