MEMS and Medical—Focus on Aging
Medical and quality of life applications that allow people to live longer and more independently are gaining mindshare—and market share. According to Yole Développement, the BioMEMS market will nearly triple over the next five years, reaching US$6.6B in 2018. With medical-device manufacturers increasingly pursuing growing commercial opportunities, they are turning to MEMS for patient monitoring, management, rehabilitation, replacement, and drug delivery, including microfluidics. As part of its second MEMS Executive Congress Europe
MEMS Industry Group (MIG) will join medical device manufacturers, integrators, researchers and a top market analyst in a panel discussion on the role of MEMS in medical applications. Panelists will address the MEMS connection to lifesaving and life-enhancing applications, with a particular focus on the world’s aging population.
Panelists will address:
-
What factors are driving the convergence of clinical and consumer medical technology?
-
From Alzheimer’s and heart disease to high blood pressure, diabetes and even airbag equipped bicycle helmets—how is MEMS enabling better health/quality of life (QoL) with regard to prevention, monitoring and management?
-
How are manufacturers leveraging MEMS motion sensors for sports rehabilitation?
-
How will MEMS advance medical/QoL over the next five-ten years? For example, when will we see more MEMS-enabled bionics come to market?
