Successful 2025 Z43–DYMSTEC Workshop

Z43 and DYMSTEC welcomed over 100 participants from academia, industry, and governmental agencies to their annual joint workshop in Seoul, South Korea, on September 18, 2025.

On September 18, 2025, Z43 and DYMSTEC welcomed over 100 participants from academia, industry, and governmental agencies to their annual joint workshop in Seoul, South Korea. This year’s event, hosted at the Gachon Convention Center in Sungnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, once again served as a hub for knowledge sharing, networking, and showcasing Z43’s latest technological innovations.

Unlike the workshops of previous years that featured multiple parallel tracks, this year’s workshop centered on a single, focused program. The morning sessions were concentrated on the wireless industry, highlighting the latest developments in measurement and compliance solutions, while the afternoon sessions shifted to medical and life-sciences applications, showcasing advances in simulation and neurostimulation research. This streamlined format enabled participants to become immersed in both fields through in-depth presentations and live demonstrations, all during one intensive and inspiring day.

SPEAG provided comprehensive updates on its latest innovations in measurement and simulation technologies. Attendees learned about several enhanced modules of the DASY8 platform, including the upcoming updates for testing proximity sensors with Module SENS V1.10, the updated DASY8/6 Module WPT V3.0 for characterization and compliance testing of inductive wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, and the soon-to-be-released DASY8/6 Module mmWave V4.0 and Module APD V2.0 for assessing incident and absorbed power densities from millimeter wave transmitters. The new DAK-R for precision low-loss material characterization was featured, alongside demonstrations of MAGPy3 V3.0 for in situ low-frequency magnetic field exposure assessment, as well as SPEAG’s latest generation of OTA phantoms for over-the-air (OTA) performance, including novel phantoms for proximity sensor testing.

ZMT showcased the recently released Sim4Life V9.0, a universal tool for computational life and health sciences. With full o²S²PARC integration, a plugin framework for third-party solvers, artificial intelligence (AI-) driven anatomical modeling, and new “Hypertools” to address, e.g., response surfaces and uncertainty quantification. Participants were also treated to a sneak preview of Sim4Life.web V9.2, due for release in early October, which introduces a multi-objective optimizer with live Pareto plots, full OpenFOAM integration, next-generation AI segmentation, and additional features – all designed to make simulations more efficient, powerful, and accessible. To further support users, Sim4Life.web V9.2 will also feature integrated interactive chat/support tools for direct assistance and faster troubleshooting.

TI Solutions AG presented the latest version of its Temporal Interference Brain Stimulator for Research (TIBS-R V3.2), now compatible with 3T and soon 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, as well as the new temporal interference (TI) planning tool, TIP V4.0, developed by the IT’IS Foundation. A preview of the upcoming TIBS-R HOME V1.0 system, a portable closed-loop TI stimulation device designed for clinical and home use, sparked particular interest among attendees.

Lively discussions, hands-on product demonstrations, and casual networking over coffee rounded off the event. According to tradition, the day ended with the much-anticipated raffle featuring iconic Swiss gifts, including a gold bar, an exclusive special edition Snoopy MoonSwatch, Freitag bags, Swiss tools, and, of course, delectable Swiss chocolate.

A warm THANK YOU goes out to the DYMSTEC team, led by CEO Peter Song, for once again orchestrating a highly successful and engaging event. Together, Z43 and DYMSTEC continue to foster innovation and collaboration across Korea’s key wireless and medical technology players.
