Abstract

The future of the biomedical industry (composed of pharmaceutical, biotech, medical devices and diagnostics segments) in the next 10 years is very positive. It will experience explosive growth in markets for the treatment of both chronic and acute illnesses. These markets will be driven by a confluence of political and demographic trends – most notably globalization and population growth and aging -- as well as by new products resulting from the genomic discoveries of the late 1990s and early 2000s and a generally favorable policy environment.

Health and medical industry is not only the main develop direction of Taiwan’s government in future 5-10 years (will invest several billions funding), the more advanced countries in the world is also the main develop direction. This presentation will share the basic applications of some optical MEMS technology, and how to expand the related technologies to develop the novel medical devices. This talk will share some experiences from the development of portable physiological monitoring instrumentation, then spread out to the commercialized process of implantable medical products.
