Connected Mobility
The wellness trend shows no sign of ebbing, and the car is starting to become a partner in personal health. Preserving and promoting health is certainly a worthy goal, and it is playing an increasingly important role in the automotive industry. Drawing on a deep well of specialized knowledge in medical and automotive systems, we have a cross-industry skill-set and many years’ experience developing software.
“Get out of the car healthier than you were when you got in it.” Combining automotive engineering and medical systems is a daunting challenge. Few companies have expertise in these two lines of business. At ITK, ours is comprehensive across both – we know to make automotive wellness a reality. Systems equipped with cameras, smart textiles, air quality detectors, and other sensors are complex. It takes advanced skills to develop custom software algorithms to tame this complexity and deliver solutions to the production line. Another great challenge is ensuring that personal data and other information is handled responsibly and processed securely in cloud-based systems.
Automotive Health enables people to record their health while driving and thus initiate preventive measures. Thanks to our many years of expertise in the automotive and healthcare technology sectors, we develop customized and networked solutions together with our customers, so that the vehicle becomes a health companion on four wheels.

From the inceptive idea to the final solution, development is all about understanding healthcare and automotive engineering. ITK is one of the few companies to unite the two. We develop health features for tomorrow’s software-defined vehicle with the customer’s needs and regulatory requirements in mind. With the benefit of our agile software development toolchain and CI/CD-based automated tests, we were able to quickly ramp up a high-quality solution. Post-development support is part of the package: We are there to assist and, if necessary, adapt when production gets underway.
We take new features to the production line. Having devoted more than 30 years to medical systems and automotive engineering, our experience with development methods in these domains runs deep. This is the bedrock on which efficient and effective projects are built.
