Medical Electronics

Connected healthcare and digitisation brings tremendous opportunities for the electronics industry. Whether its remote monitoring and wireless technologies, interoperability with diagnostic tools or embedded-computing technology, high-power, miniaturised and high-reliability electronics are increasingly needed to support innovations from the medical device manufacturers.

However, medical electronics brings with it a variety of challenges for the electronics designer, including regulatory issues, the ongoing push for miniaturisation, and the increasing 'consumerisation' of medical devices. Collaboration and partnership working are essential for success.

The Medical Innovation Forum provides a valuable opportunity for electronics engineers to discuss ideas for new devices with researchers and clinicians and also explore collaboration opportunities with medical device OEMs, their supply chain partners.

A wide-ranging programme of roundtable discussion groups are being staged so as to bring together participants who share common interests.

Discussion groups already confirmed include:

Discussion Group: Towards disposable healthcare devices: a paradigm shift
Professor Chris Toumazou, Exec Director & Chief Scientist, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Imperial College London

Discussion Group: Digital Manufacturing for Biomedical Applications
Iain Todd, Reader in Metallurgy, Dept of Engineering Materials, University of Sheffield
