Advancements in personal healthcare, diagnostic analysis and rehabilitative practices are growing at a rapid pace. From diagnostic equipment to medical imaging, and medical instruments to healthcare wearables—explore our resources to stay up to date with healthcare and medical trends and technology.
For home-health devices, the patient experience is central to the product. New technologies, including AI, smaller displays with higher pixel density, portable graphic frameworks and more capable MCUs are driving innovation.
Continuous passive motion (CPM) is now a critical part of patient rehabilitation. New technologies, including artificial intelligence, are helping medical OEMs take the next step to optimize patient therapy.
Wearable medical devices provide continuous body monitoring. Acoustic sensing is non-intrusive and the data supports early diagnosis and remote analysis. Are the stethoscope’s days numbered? That’s not likely, but new device opportunities abound.
High resolution and low dose are two of the latest developments in computed tomography equipment used by medical professionals. Looking inside tells us how these innovations are being achieved.
Pulsed field ablation is a bold approach to treating atrial fibrillation. The control required is extreme, leading to innovative solutions and newly patented technologies gaining attention from doctors, patients and OEMs.
Interconnect technology is designed for nearly every application imaginable including medical products. Molex designs and develops cutting-edge standard products with the quality and reliability that meet the rigorous needs of the medical industry.
Understanding a medical device’s operating environment and performance needs can result in a more optimal temperature sensor choice. This article looks at some key medical device applications and considerations for selecting a temperature sensor.
Optical sensors deliver a non-invasive solution for monitoring the body below the skin, especially the cardiovascular system. The way tissue absorbs light is the principle, but sensors provide the accuracy.
From the need to maintain small form factors and keep system power requirements low to concerns over data integrity and cost, the design space for diagnostic wearables is fraught with complexity.
As wearable devices grow in popularity, so does interest in energy harvesting technology as an alternative to battery power. Experts say it shouldn’t be an “all-or-nothing: proposition.
The design requirements for wearable devices are unique amongst embedded systems. Design engineers don’t have the freedom to trade size against weight, or performance for power.
Clinical trials take time and money, but they also need participants and lots of data. The IoT is now being used to capture that data from participants virtually and to conduct clinical trials in the digital domain.
A growing need exists for alternative solutions to patient monitoring applications in healthcare facilities. Time-of-flight cameras enable sensors to read position data of scenes within the field of view, but without identifying patient information.
While modern day advancements in electronics and robotic technology haven’t brought forth total autonomous robotic surgery, robot-assisted surgery is one of the fastest growing disciplines within the clinical surgery.
Medical imaging is one of the most valuable tools doctors have in detecting and diagnosing disease or anomalies in patients. Both 2D and 3D imaging play a big role in enabling medical professionals to deliver better clinical outcomes.
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) deliver many advantages to artificial intelligence (AI) applications. How do graphics processing units (GPUs) and traditional central processing units (CPUs) compare?
It’s hard to imagine modern life without touchscreen displays, televisions, washing machines, coffee makers, remote controls and connected devices of all types. Microcontroller units (MCUs) make these modern necessities possible.
Few industries drive adoption of new technology like healthcare. Thanks to advancements like Microsoft’s HoloLens technology, medical providers can harness mixed reality to improve the quality of patient care and overall experience.
Whether you know it or not, this technology has a lot of potential to deal with business-specific challenges and the benefits of deep learning outnumber its drawbacks.
In 2012, Kurt Workman was a full-time chemical engineering major at Brigham Young University. Kurt’s aunt had just had twins, prematurely, so he and his wife were lending a helping hand whenever they could.
Braster S.A. is a Poland-based company founded by scientists with a mission – to save lives by giving women an easier, more effective and more comfortable way to conduct breast self-examinations at home
You’ve probably heard in the news lately how unhealthy sitting can be. According to WebMD, sitting for long hours has been linked to mental health problems, obesity, death from heart disease and cancer, and other conditions.
