MEMS enable medical innovation
By Analog Devices, Inc.
The ability to detect, capture, and analyze motion with MEMS has become a commonplace feature on consumer and mobile devices. Where technological advances have provided high-precision motion capture, applications have extended into industrial fields. Many potential medical diagnostic and instrumentation applications can benefit from merging the precision of industrial devices with the mobility and economies of consumer devices.

@Anne: is there going to be any updates from BioMed San Jose held last week? It would be nice to know what are 'new' products in the medical area in 2013...

@andrew... Thank you... it is common to see survey respondents provide inputs considering the contemporary 'pain points' and may miss future ones. My guess is this list will look radically different in another 5 years. Probably #10 will dominate?

Very useful information in the link above, thanks! I would imagine software applications using these technologies will start to be more prominent in 2013; in particular, analytics-driven prognostics.

Two lens sens angle between both eysys thus focal length. Adjust focus as needed.
No more reading glasses wearing contacts!
