Improving Patient Outcomes

Medical device technology is advancing, with breakthroughs coming via AI, Radar, miniaturization, sensors, robots, and lower power consumption. We take you on a fantastic voyage through the technology that will produce the next revolution in medical practices and improve patient outcomes.

Improving patient outcomes, enhancing diagnostics or regulatory compliance are all critical goals for embedded design efforts in the medical device industry, and the advances in hardware and software development hold the promise of making these tasks easier, longer in duration, more secure, and with higher accuracy and reliability than the last generation of equipment. One company describes a wearable medical band designed to detect "conspicuous" irregularities in a patient's continuous vital sign stream and advise an action to help, such as taking medication. However, it can also differentiate and detect "serious" irregularities, alerting doctors or emergency responders when triggered.
