New platform for medical technology devices from Infineon

Infineon Technologies has launched a new platform solution for medical technology devices. The MD8710 Medical Platform from Infineon is based on the integration of standard functions. This platform is suitable for application in a range of different electronic applications in medical technology. This device can also be used for application in electronic blood sugar and blood pressure meters, electrochemical analyses and fitness devices, which can transmit their readings automatically also using mobile communication to the doctor’s or hospital’s computer systems. Market researchers from InMedica estimate the total shipments only for telehealth electronics devices of more than two million by 2013.

The customer-specific analysis software of Infineon’s Medical Platform can be implemented on ARM Cortex R4 processor. The analog analysis stage of the platform permits multiple stimuli with synchronous measurement. The smart power management unit incorporated allows efficient medical technology devices to be developed.

“With the new Medical Platform, Infineon supports the development of medical devices with cutting-edge technologies, enabling cost-effective diagnosis and patient treatment”, said Kurt Marquardt, Senior Director Marketing ASIC& Power IC of Infineon Technologies. “The platform makes the most sophisticated medical measuring technology possible in portable formats.”
