Overcome the Challenges of Designing Battery-Powered Medical IoT Devices
Based on the IoT Healthcare Market – Global Forecast to 2020 Report, the IoT trend for implants (e.g. cardiac pacemaker) and wearable external devices (e.g. insulin pumps) is expected to grow by 30% from 2015 to 2020. This is due to the declining cost of RFID tags and sensors, increase demand of personal healthcare and fitness monitoring, and increase in number of lifestyle disease patients which require real-time healthcare services. Understanding power consumption patterns and battery life requirements of medical device are the main considerations for all aspects of the design of battery powered IoT medical devices.
