Global aging and pandemic are putting innovative healthcare technologies in the spotlight. Digital therapeutics, at-home diagnostics and AI enabled personalized healthcare... all have been identified as potential solutions. However, the requirements of continuous monitoring and outpatient treatment are bringing new challenges in biosensor accuracy and function safety in both medical device' providers and semiconductor foundries.
In this talk, we will discuss the following aspects of this market:
Smart: neuromorphic and sensor fusion have been proven as an effective approach to achieve the low power consumption requirement for wearable products. We will showcase our latest result with integrated EOG, EEG, and ultrasound sensors in wearable application.
Comfort: to improve patient's comfort, multiple contactless health monitor solution combining radar & optical sensors are proposed from industry partners. During this talk, we will give a performance and cost comparation from the foundry's point of view.
Safety: with the rise in digital therapeutics and at-home diagnostics, we see the need to improve foundry quality control to address such mid-risk medical devices with function safety and root-of-trust approach.
