Electronic enthusiasts news : the trend of smart phones introducing medical chips is on the rise. Focusing on mHealth business opportunities, many large chip manufacturers at home and abroad are actively developing medical chips to increase the added value of smart phones, and strive to gain the favor of mobile phone brand manufacturers.
According to Zhang Ciying, manager of the medical equipment and health care research department of the Life and Biomedical Research Group of the Industry and Economics Center of the Industrial Research Institute, it is now very common for smartphones to run medical apps. In response to the mobile medical market demand, chipmakers will upgrade hardware specifications.
Zhang Ciying said that due to the increasing number of elderly people in the world and the increase in the number of elderly people suffering from three chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, the compound growth rate of the global home medical care market reached 15.5% from 2011 to 2016, and the mobile medical market Business opportunities are expected.
Zhang Ciying further pointed out that from the perspective of hospital equipment, mobile medical business opportunities include portable devices, tablets and smartphones that doctors can use for measurement, diagnosis and patrol; patients on the user side can use portable devices with measurement functions. Device or smart phone to perform medical measurements such as blood glucose and blood pressure. With the assistance of mobile medical devices, hospitals can reduce their expenditure on large-scale medical equipment, and patients can also reduce the number of visits, which is expected to improve the current situation of waste of medical resources.
In addition, due to different medical needs, advanced countries and emerging markets will also have different development directions for mobile healthcare in the future. Zhang Ciying mentioned that people in advanced countries have higher living standards, so mobile medical devices such as blood glucose meters and sphygmomanometers for home care are developing faster; emerging countries such as China, India and Indonesia have more opportunities for doctors to go to the countryside High, there is a high demand for portable medical devices such as ultrasound equipment in the hospital, as well as tablets and mobile phones equipped with electronic medical records.
It is understood that medical phones and tablets today mainly download applications (Apps) to perform medical functions; however, it is very common that mobile device hardware can not run medical apps, so many chip manufacturers strive to develop integrated CPUs ), Memory and analog front end (AFE) and other medical chips with upgraded hardware specifications to fill the gaps in mobile medical technology.
It is worth mentioning that in the future, mobile medical devices on the user side can be transmitted to the hospital side for doctors to treat, and can also be uploaded to the cloud data center for preliminary diagnosis and analysis, and then returned to the patient for reference. . But in this way, the amount of medical data is very large; Zhang Ciying emphasized that the chip manufacturer will design the medical chip with hardware and software integration, and use the algorithm for pre-processing, and then upload it to the cloud for analysis, which can suddenly reduce the amount of data. .
Zhang Ciying analyzed that smart phones with built-in medical functions will target business people with high mobile demand as the target group, and it is expected to use mid-range mobile phones as the mainstream model, and it is expected to appear one to two years later.
