Location: Virtual

Abstract: The MedTech industry is going through an inflection point with the emergence and rapid adoption of wearable and handheld medical devices for health tracking, remote patient monitoring, and diverse point-of-care usages. Key features of these medical devices are the novelty of sensing mechanisms, processing the data intelligently, and wirelessly communicating to a smartphone or other remote devices at a high power efficiency.

This talk will highlight a roadmap of semiconductor technologies that can address the above features within a small form factor in a reliable and power-efficient way.  To leverage these semiconductor solutions, a robust ecosystem consisting of MedTech OEMs, Chip makers, Foundries, design IP, and OSAT providers are needed, backed by research from academic and research institutes.  A part of the talk will also emphasize how the growing presence of semiconductors in MedTech will need a closer symbiosis among all ecosystem partners to deliver a unique set of solutions for the next generation of medical devices.
