仔細(xì)看看醫(yī)療傳感器解決方案

　　隨著科技的進(jìn)步和人口的老齡化，醫(yī)療傳感器市場(chǎng)正在爆炸，這一點(diǎn)也就不足為奇了。最近的一項(xiàng)研究報(bào)告由MarketsandMarkets，例如，認(rèn)為醫(yī)療傳感器市場(chǎng)總量有望達(dá)到2017 131億1000萬(wàn)美元。

　　同時(shí)，人們可能對(duì)這一增長(zhǎng)速度的一個(gè)基本原因知之不及：醫(yī)用電子，包括傳感器，變得更加靈敏和準(zhǔn)確。因此，傳感器在診斷、監(jiān)測(cè)、藥物輸送和家庭治療等應(yīng)用中起著重要的作用。目前，在許多其他應(yīng)用中，傳感器被用于透析機(jī)、胰島素泵、心率監(jiān)測(cè)裝置、血壓監(jiān)測(cè)裝置、醫(yī)療成像設(shè)備和血糖監(jiān)測(cè)器。

　　微型傳感器和微流控芯片的MEMS、CCD和CMOS技術(shù)，通過(guò)縮小器件尺寸和提供更高的精度、先進(jìn)的控制和低功耗，徹底改變了這一部分。

　　Various types of sensors can be found in medical devices， including pressure， magnetic， inertial， touch， optical， temperature， voltage， and current sensors. Applications include pressure sensors for blood pressure， respiratory， or kidney dialysis monitoring; accelerometers for pacemakers; silicon microphones， microactuators， and microelectrodes for hearing aids; microelectrodes for cochlear implants; micro-pumps for infusion drug delivery; IR ear thermometers; atomizers for nasal or pulmonary drug delivery; ultrasound sensors for medical imaging; accelerometers for human fall detection， and more. There is also a high demand for implantable biosensors in such medical areas as cardiac care and pharmaceutical delivery. Examples of sensing in implantable applications include detecting heart rhythm irregularities or sensing the amount of glucose in the bloodstream.
