Smart healthcare is the use of advanced Internet and Internet of Things technologies to realize the connection and benign interaction of medical and health service related personnel, information, equipment, and resources through intelligent methods, as well as real-time, intelligent, automated, and interconnected dynamic services. Timely access to preventive and curative medical services, including smart hospital systems, regional health systems, and home health. Chips are an integral part of medical devices, which are increasingly adapting various semiconductor technologies to provide new functions and capabilities in smaller form factors. Among them, second- and third-generation chips used by automakers and high-tech manufacturers are the main demand in the medical device sector.
The chip crisis has hampered the global economic recovery from the coronavirus-induced recession and exacerbated a global supply chain crisis. The supply shortage has affected nearly all industries that rely on electronic components, continuing to put pressure on industries ranging from automobiles to household appliances, to the medical device industry. Semiconductors are an essential part of many medical devices today, providing functions such as operational control, data processing and storage, wireless connectivity, and power management. Traditional medical equipment is not so dependent on semiconductors, and medical equipment using semiconductors can not only realize the functions of traditional medical equipment, but also improve the performance of medical equipment and reduce costs.
Medical chips are pioneering in China, and the products produced are often the first in China, which can bring a great sense of professional achievement. The medical chip industry is now in its infancy in China. When the domestic applications and equipment explode, the medical chip industry will also explode.
We still don't know what kind of sparks medical devices and Chinese "chips" can rub against, but as China's chip manufacturing product line becomes more and more abundant, the gap between it and international giants is gradually narrowing, and in the "chip" battle What is buried is no longer just the gold mine of the trillion market, but also the dignity of the national scientific and technological strength, and the life, health and safety of everyone. Perhaps, we have no retreat, only Yinxiao forward.
A global shortage of semiconductor chips is causing delays, order cancellations and other supply disruptions for medical technology companies. The survey found that two-thirds of medical technology companies use semiconductors in at least half of their products. In addition, most of the chips required for medical equipment and those used in automobile manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing have a high degree of overlap, which directly leads to the risk that most medical equipment manufacturers have to face the risk of direct competition with other industries. Thereby exacerbating the shortage of medical chips. And according to the survey, more than 70% of medical device manufacturers rely on a single supplier for their semiconductors. The lack of other suppliers means that a disruption could result in 70% of medical device manufacturers experiencing production stoppages, order delays, and more.
The new crown virus is menacing, and it is not completely over yet. It is very important to perform temperature checks on a large number of people in public places. Current thermal cameras or non-contact infrared forehead thermometers are two common modalities, and these devices also rely on semiconductors such as sensors and analog chips to convert data such as temperature into digital readings.
Medical chips are the key source technology for the performance of equipment and systems to achieve leaps. Medical chips are the key source technology for the performance of equipment and systems to achieve leaps.
In the face of the Chinese market, in addition to excellent products, it is necessary to have a grounded layout. The creation of a medical electronics ecosystem is not overnight. The novel coronavirus pneumonia spreading around the world has a far-reaching impact on the world economy. The fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia will truly become a "people's" struggle. The production and transportation of anti-epidemic and anti-epidemic materials is the top priority at present. Among them, the electronics industry has played a key role in ensuring the normal production of anti-epidemic materials, especially medical electronic equipment such as medical imaging, ventilators and infrared thermometers, which have become a social focus. The continuation of the new crown epidemic has brought uncertainty to the development of the electronics industry, but it has also brought major opportunities for the development of the medical electronics industry. Applications such as rapid diagnosis and remote monitoring equipment are expected to accelerate the implementation, and smart medical care has also ushered in new opportunities.
