Significance of medical technology market unfailing

The medical device and healthcare market is and remains the most important target market for the highest proportion of microtechnology companies: for 21% of companies, medical technology is currently the most important market – for 27.2% of companies, it will be the most important market in three years’ time.

New impulses in medical technology and healthcare arise from the combination of miniaturization and digitalization. This combination enables portable mobile health systems that measure vital signs directly on the body and, if desired, transmit them to doctors or nursing services. Active implants use micro sensors and micro actuators to measure vital signs or release drugs, as well as concepts from the fields of deep learning or artificial intelligence in order make neurological implants capable of learning.
