Medical electronics OEMs may be able to move forward with their prototypes into pilot, medium, and high runs right here on American soil. And it may be sooner than later due in large part to the advances in PCB microelectronics assembly. Advanced medical devices like wearables, portables, insertable, and ingestible products are now either being […]

DOEs on Call for New Wearable Medical Devices
Medical electronics continue to make even greater technological advances with recent R&D developments and promise to take on new forms. Biosensors for human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and new, flexible electrodes are leading the way. They are among the most recent developments and promise more sophisticated medical wearable devices for health monitoring. Continue Reading at IConnect007
Continue Reading...As I’ve often said, growing numbers of OEMs are producing small, more portable devices, especially medical electronics OEMs that are pioneering insertable and ingestible medical devices. With these newer, smaller devices coming on the market, EMS providers and contract manufacturers (CMs) must adjust their PCB assembly technologies to comply with these demands. Thermal profiling and […]
Continue Reading...Medical electronics continue to be a game changer, with miniaturization being foremost today in the minds of medical OEMs. In a previous column, I discussed ingestible and implantable medical devices based on remarkably small and unique PCBs, and the technology trends supporting those products continue to dramatically escalate. Today, there is a growing demand for […]

PCBs on the Medical Ventilator Frontlines
The unprecedented demand for thousands upon thousands of life-saving ventilators appears to be among the biggest challenges facing medical electronics OEMs today due to the coronavirus pandemic. News reports say that America’s biggest manufacturers are working with medical systems companies to produce the volumes of ventilators needed across the country. But there is also a […]

IoT devices are entering a distinctly new realm when it comes to printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. The reason for that is IoT devices require both traditional surface mount technology (SMT) assembly, as well as microelectronics assembly. The latter involves chip on board, wire bonding, die attach, flip chip and other associated technologies. Continue Reading […]
