Digital Transformation of Medical Devices

Recent advances in technology, especially the advent of connected devices, has reshaped the medical device industry, known as MedTech. The increasing adoption of connected devices and pandemic Covid-19 have accelerated the use of digital healthcare services worldwide. Also, smart interconnected devices have enabled business models through a cloud-based service delivery platform. These factors have led to new requirements on the MedTech industry in recent years.

During the past one decade, medical devices have evolved with new features built on a more robust network infrastructure and advanced computing in order to reduce the gap between the demand for medical facilities and the availability of physicians and hospital care at affordable costs.

At MontaVista, we have observed an evolutionary movement in medical device development. Modern devices will utilize technological enhancements to assimilate, aggregate and process data through multiple touch points and deliver services to a much larger base at a fraction of cost.   

MontaVista's View of Key Trends in the MedTech landscape

Over 2 decades of leading the Embedded market, we have noticed the following key drivers of Medical designs:

  • Internet of Things and Connected Devices
  • Bring Your Own Device, connections to medical/hospital area sensors
  • 3D Printing for Prosthetic and similar purposes
  • Deep Learning/Big Data algorithms and Artifical Intelligence for Diagnostics
  • Consumer-like User Interface for Medical Equipment

Being aware of the trends, we have continuously improved our commercial Linux products and services for MedTech companies.
