Medical treatment is difficult and expensive already become more pressing towards more people, When universal health care would increase? For the new health care reform is imminent, how to get better medical services and benefit from lower prices is the focus of reform, what is constraining it two points? In which information technology plays a very important role.
New health care reform - two words
(A) The focus of medical attention to the disease from the past had changed, now it’s focus to prevention, care and other sectors forward;
(B) New focus is moved under the primary care, township and community health, so that more people access to health services.
New health care reform - a new direction
850 billion out of the state's financial capital to promote new health care reform in 2009, and these problems involve not only medical management, models and other issues, as well as technical and service issues for the electronic information industry to provide a great opportunity.
Provide more comprehensive and more accurate detection, to achieve a more integrated, more personalized, more accurate diagnosis will be the focus of future health care competition. Medical devices to the diagnosis, treatment of patients testing equipment to medical imaging, almost all medical devices can not leave electronic technology. Medical equipment costs more than 10 percent in IT costs even more.
Chinese medical equipment industry association annual show: In the CT medical imaging equipment, electronic products accounted for 11% of the total cost; in catheters and other medical materials, electronic components and materials accounting for more than 40%. 2011 mobile medical consumer electronics market size reached $ 15 billion Chinese market, compared with $ 1.5 billion. "
Leading position in portable medical
Past medical testing equipment is focus on structural and functional issues, the future of medical equipment to provide more non-structural non-functional prediction and detection information. MCU can not meet demand in some occasions, FPGA devices allows complex control and high-density digital signal processing implementation possible, this system-level digital technology is driving innovation in medical imaging equipment.
In most medical devices, the actual physiological signals are analog signals, the signals need to go through, such as amplification and filtering of the signal conditioning technology, processing, can be detected, monitor or display, so the high-performance analog front-end product must have low noise , low power consumption and high density features.
Freescale Semiconductor is currently in the medical field focused on solutions for portable medical market. Freescale Semiconductor Marketing Manager Mr. Liu think that Internet, connectivity will be the major trends in medical electronics.
