With the rise of AI technology, more and more medical staff began to monitor the patient's condition through the Internet of Things. A large amount of medical data was collected to the cloud server, and batch processing was performed by using algorithms such as machine learning to help doctors find out the cause and analyze the condition. And get better insights. In addition, data analysis can be used to identify early signs of disease, allowing patients to take precautions and preventive measures in advance, ultimately minimizing treatment costs and possibly preventing disease.
Behind this smart medical model is the support of “high-precision†sensors. From body temperature, breathing, heart rate to blood pressure and blood sugar, various new medical sensors help doctors to obtain rich vital signs data to meet the needs of the medical diagnosis process. . At the 79th CMEF Medical Expo, TE ConnecTIvity (TE), a global leader in connectivity and sensing, demonstrated a variety of sensor technologies and innovative solutions for the medical industry, including patient monitoring and diagnostics, mobile care devices and wearables. Equipment, etc.
New sensor revolutionary medical industry
Breakthroughs in sensor technology are providing more possibilities for smart healthcare. According to Liao Hongyun, regional sales manager of TE Sensors and head of the Asia-Pacific medical industry, the TE has highlighted several new products, including bubble sensors. AD-101 is mainly used in infusion pumps, hemodialysis and blood flow monitoring. The product utilizes the principle of ultrasonic technology to detect bubbles in the liquid in a non-invasive manner and even to identify the flow or interruption of any type of liquid.

In addition, another new product is the blood oxygen sensor, which uses photoelectric technology to measure blood oxygen (SpO2) levels. Liao Hongyun said that the current repetitive market for sensors is decreasing, and users need one-off products. Therefore, TE has introduced a new packaged product according to the needs of the market. It was originally a plug-in blood oxygen sensor, and now has a patch-type product.

With IoT technology and wearable applications, the use of wearable devices for human health monitoring has become a fashion. The TE also brings a new sleep monitoring solution that monitors parameters such as breathing, heart rate, snoring frequency, and turning movement during sleep. The TE sleep monitoring sensor solution uses a piezoelectric film technology that detects the state of the human body through sensitive thin-film devices and then converts it into a sleep index and feeds it back to the user.

Medical Sensor Challenges and Responsibilities
When talking about the demanding requirements of the medical industry, Liao Hongyun said that sensors used in the medical field should fully consider biocompatibility, such as non-toxic, strong plasticity, low rejection, and biodegradability, and have special requirements for material selection. . TE's mission is to provide safe medical sensor products from human health. TE pays great attention to the quality of the products, and is very strict in terms of material selection and process.

In addition, medical care has high requirements on the volume of sensor products, because some medical products require patients to carry them with them, and some applications involving intervention and implantation, and the accuracy of detection is also high. With years of deep technical accumulation in the sensing industry, TE designs and manufactures sensors to meet the specific requirements of the medical industry in accordance with strict specifications.
In addition, TE provides customized products for specific application scenarios and works closely with customers to develop sensor product solutions for innovative applications. Through global teams and specialized engineering design, we provide technical communication and comprehensive after-sales technical support to help our customers achieve more perfect solutions.
Future opportunities for in vitro diagnostic technology
Small sensors play an important role in the medical industry, and their future market space is huge. It is predicted that the global market will increase to $18.5 billion by 2024. Liao Hongyun believes that from the current market in China, medical equipment is still in the early stage of the market, and most companies are exerting strength in accessories, because the technical difficulty of equipment is relatively high.
In addition, Liao Hongyun pointed out that the market for health diagnosis will be very large in the future, and medical organizations are reducing their personal injuries through more in vitro diagnostics. For example, the basic diagnosis of the human body is completed by collecting characteristic parameters such as blood pressure and blood oxygen. Therefore, diagnostic products like blood glucose meters will be a big market.
Composite sensor
As a pioneering company, TE has been paying attention to the needs of the medical market, investigating the needs of hospital institutions or patients, and then launching products and providing customized services. Liao Hongyun also said that the composite sensor will be a trend in the future. TE has now introduced sensors that can detect multiple parameters, such as integrating temperature, humidity and pressure to achieve more functions in a smaller volume. To meet the needs of future big data collection.
