The medical electronics market continues to face increasing pressure on its traditional competitive parameters that have always gone beyond functionality. Engineering is under pressure to deliver:
- Smaller footprints
- Reduced component count
- Faster, less expensive hardware
- Combined, multiple functions
- Lower power consumption
- Firmware driven field-upgradability
To remain competitive, medical equipment manufacturers need to rapidly incorporate the latest advances in imaging, networking, wireless and data aquisition. Increasing sophistication among corporate hospital buyers and consumers, with both groups under pressure from insurance providers to keep costs down, has resulted in increasing sophistication and lower price-point requirements for all varieties of medical equipment.
Today, multi-disciplinary teams are needed to build almost any kind of medical equipment. Increasingly, these teams need to be savvy about:
- FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) Design
- ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Design
- SoC (System on Chip) Design
- High speed state of the art Board Design
- Embedded Software Development
- Third party IP (Intellectual Property) Integration
