Although it represents a massive opportunity, the medical market can present large barriers to entry for electronics companies. Beyond the regulatory requirements – which are, understandably, not insignificant – designers are faced with challenges that test their skill and ingenuity. The combination of harsh physical and electrical environments and a need for extreme accuracy means meeting those challenges requires a level of design expertise that only comes with experience.
It is not unusual for some products to remain in the medical market for more than 10 years and, with continual development, they can benefit from the latest digital and analogue technology.
It is largely due to these technologies that new and exciting medical methodologies continue to emerge which, someday, may lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis of life threatening disease.
One such methodology is electrical impedance tomography (EIT), an imaging technique now finding application within many vertical sectors, including medical.
