Embedded platform promotes intelligent medical equipment

Microsoft founder Bill Gates once had a dream, and he hopes everyone has a computer on the desktop. In the 1970s, this seemed to be a dream, but it has become a reality. Bill Gates now focuses on the education and medical fields, of which medical health is his most important focus, he believes that the future richer than his world's richest man must come from the health industry.

With the development of information technology in hospitals, medical devices need to have network functions, which promotes the development of medical devices in the direction of intelligence, and also brings several challenges to medical devices: First, medical equipment is a long research and development period, investment In industries with high thresholds, software development will increase the difficulty of development for medical devices. Second, the industry's supervision is very strict, accompanied by a series of regulatory standards and certification mechanisms. For equipment manufacturers, a device is developed and approved by the government. It is a huge challenge; Third, when the equipment is intelligent, its maintenance work will become very troublesome.

According to statistics, between 2008 and 2013, the annual growth rate of a medical device with an operating system is at least 11.5%. Mainly focused on diagnosis and treatment equipment, consumer medical electronics, clinical monitoring equipment and medical imaging equipment. Among these four types of devices, Microsoft's embedded platform can provide a reliable platform to help device manufacturers accelerate innovation. The so-called accelerated innovation is to make some new developments on the existing basic platform. Microsoft can provide a reliable platform for equipment manufacturers to focus on innovation.

The advantages of Microsoft's embedded platform are manifested in three points: First, reliability, the platform needs to be protected from network viruses, maintaining its privacy and proprietary; Second, connectivity, all data must be guaranteed Interconnected environment; Third, the development of simplicity, try to spend less on the development of the operating system, so that products can be launched faster and more quickly.

Microsoft embedded application case:

Case 1: The client is a manufacturer specializing in the production of smart beds in the United States, with an annual output of 1.6 billion US dollars. The smart beds they produce can be networked with the surrounding devices. When the nurse holds the handheld device close to the bed, it automatically transmits the patient's data directly to the doctor's device, passing the medical record to the system via the wireless network. Also connected to Microsoft's call center. Off-the-shelf Windows embedded systems can help manufacturers save money compared to open Linux systems or private systems that are otherwise developed. For development engineers, Windows has a mature development environment that greatly shortens the product development cycle.

Case 2: More and more consumer medical electronic products are now entering the home. This product is convenient for patients to self-test at home. These products are characterized by portability, simple operation and low cost. For the operating system, a simple operation system is required. Microsoft Windows CE is a good choice. The platform has many mature cases on mobile devices.
