Medical automation technologies and development (1)

At present, the world population ageing and the prosperity of the medical expenditure growth provides a possible, but also for the medical device industry development laid the Foundation.

Although the global economic recession, but the medical device industry still maintain a good momentum of development. According to a survey, United States United States medical automation technology market in 2008 on the size of the $ 12 billion. It is expected that the market in 2009 will grow up to 131 million, up 232 billion by 2014.

ISuppli Corporation noted that the 2009 China medical electronics sales will increase 18.2% from 33 billion in 2008 increased to 39 billion.

The next few years will maintain this momentum, the compound annual growth rate will reach 21% 2013 rising to 86 million. Experts predict that the medical device industry by 2010, China medical device market capacity will reach 1200 billion, but the current domestic production of medical devices, and more than 90 percent for middle and conventional products, accelerate the development of the medical device industry has become China's economic development as an important strategic deployment.

Medical digital and information technology is a global medical technology development of main directions for achieving medical "Lossless", "precision" the most important technical guarantee.

Digital medical equipment is the basis of medical information, digital medical technology is the core technology of a modern medical equipment, medical equipment and instrument is typical numerical control automatic system. Digitization and information of the formation of the medical products industry is a new technology with a high concentration of knowledge-intensive industry, is also in the medical device industry highest value-added (an average of 40-50%), the international and domestic market, the most competitive areas.

Medical automation technology

Embedded technology

Medical device field of application of a large number of medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers, radiation devices and analysis of monitoring devices, you need the support of embedded systems.

A variety of laboratory equipment, such as the current stroke Kee actin, discrete spectral chemical analysis, spectrophotometers, etc, all you need to use high-performance, dedicated in DSP system to improve its accuracy and speed. The introduction of embedded system, the existing monitor in function and performance will be significantly improved.

With the development of information technology, digital product unprecedented prosperity.

Embedded software has become the digital product design innovation and value-added software, the key factors are important in the future market competitiveness. From the field of medical devices, in addition to the new sensing technology deployment, on the acquisition of information and analysis, storage and display also has set higher goals. This requires modern medical equipment with more powerful computing and storage capacity as well as more stable and reliable performance. In addition, medical instrument as a special industry also requires devices to be able to achieve a higher level of environmental protection requirements. How to further intelligent, professional, miniaturization, and achieve low-power, zero pollution, will be an endless pursuit of process, this is an embedded system in the application of medical instruments provide more opportunities and higher requirements.
