How in-field devices will change health care, and what’s needed to make it work.
Medical devices are becoming more capable, more complicated, and more deployable in the field rather than in a hospital or a doctor’s office. But getting these purpose-built devices into the hands of consumers requires a whole bunch of new challenges, from safeguarding fragile on-board chemistries that can be destroyed by existing chip manufacturing and packaging processes to ensuring the materials in the supply chain are tightly controlled. Dave Fromm, head of engineering at Promex Industries, talks about what changes are needed to ensure these devices work as expected, from data security to co-planarity in packaging, and how this technology will alter health care in the future.
