Medical devices for vibration therapy, bone imaging, and motion analysis
Novotec Medical manufactures diagnostic and therapeutic hardware—Galileo vibration training systems, Leonardo Mechanography motion analysis, and pQCT bone-density scanners—with a lean 11–50-person operation centered in Germany. The tech stack (LabVIEW, C/C++, React/TypeScript, SQL) and active project list (native RFID modules, hardware test benches, desktop training-plan apps) reveal a company balancing clinical-grade firmware development with custom software for fitness-studio and research workflows.
Novotec Medical, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Pforzheim, Germany, designs and manufactures medical devices for muscle and bone assessment and therapy. The product line spans three domains: Galileo side-alternating vibration training and therapy systems; Leonardo Mechanography for motion and muscle-function analysis; and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) for bone density and geometry measurement. The company holds TÜV certification and has collaborated for over 25 years with research institutions including Charité Berlin, the University of Cologne, and ETH Zurich, as well as the European Space Agency on muscle-loss countermeasures in space missions. Current development priorities include expanding clinical indications for vibration training and building software management tools for training studios and research partners.
LabVIEW (embedded), C/C++ (firmware/hardware control), React/TypeScript (cross-platform apps), SQL (data), plus Git, Jest, and ESLint for development workflows across Windows and macOS.
Active projects include RFID access modules, LabVIEW application development, hardware test benches, a Windows/macOS desktop app for training-plan management in fitness studios, and prototype and small-batch production for research partners.
