Power Supply Safety for Healthcare & Medical Applications

Following a healthy lifestyle has been a growing trend for many years, with more individuals seeing health as a new state of mind and body.

The recent epidemic has exacerbated the interest in proactively checking one’s health status. The medical devices market volume is expected to reach US$435 million in 2022 and experience an annual growth rate of 5.32% by 2026.

As health check-ups become more frequent, there is also a growing need for medical devices that are small, portable, and yet reliable. Reliability can not only impact the lifespan of a medical device. This factor can also influence a patient's and operator's safety or the accuracy of the data collected at a given time.

For this reason, engineers need to consider a plethora of factors to guarantee sufficient levels of safety and high reliability in their electric circuit projects for healthcare and medical device applications.
