Summary: There is increasing interest in wireless medical and health monitoring. The adoption and continued innovation in flexible hybrid electronics is expected to drive this industry in the years to come — greater functionality in thinner and smaller spaces for both medical-grade and consumer-grade-based health monitors, as well as implantable and other medical devices. While traditional medical electronics may remain conservative in design, the adoption of flexible hybrid electronics for wearables that significantly advance packaging and assembly technologies are in the early stages. The integration of a variety of components and die (including thinned and unpackaged processors, memory, sensors, MEMS, RF, optical, power sources, etc.), together with printed circuits on thin flexible substrates, will create the next generation of wearable medical systems. Many new materials, assembly methods and applications are now demonstrated in the literature.
This presentation will describe these technologies including the target applications, the materials, deposition methods, components, device integration and reliability. It will discuss trends and challenges expected in the coming years.
