The The Wall Street Journal shares the APPLE WATCH is becoming doctors' new favorite medical device. Patients are more compliant with tracking their medical information, it alerts when someone is in A-Fib, it can take an ECG, it tracks heart rate, activity level, and can call 911 if you have taken a fall, and more. All this data can be stored and shared with doctors. #Technology #Innovation #HealthAndWellness ID: 4 images of various screens on the Apple watch. The first shows activity the level, the second, beats per minute, the third shows closing rings, and the fourth, an alert that shows you have taken a fall.

As someone deeply interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare, I've been fascinated by how companies like Apple are pushing boundaries with health tech in wearable devices. Their approach is not just about technology; it’s about reshaping patient care, something that traditional pharma companies can learn from. I often think about the vast data resources big pharma possesses. If they can embrace the agility and innovation seen in tech companies and I think they are, imagine the transformative healthcare solutions they could offer. It's a fascinating time to witness such groundbreaking shifts in how we approach health and wellness.
Apple’s widening effort to turn its nine-year-old watch from a luxury timepiece into the world’s most popular medical device is taking it into territory that is legally treacherous as well as potentially profitable.

With the advent of Medical Device Innovation the need for downscaling of large medical equipment arose. A crucial component in achieving this feat are the Medical-Grade PCBs. Medical-Grade PCBs are pioneering the trend of miniaturization in medical devices. By accommodating more circuits in a smaller space, they enable devices to be compact without compromising on functionality. These PCBs are engineered for high-density interconnects (HDI), which means more connections in less space, leading to faster signal transmission and reduced signal loss. This technological leap is pivotal in developing portable diagnostic tools and wearable medical devices, bringing healthcare closer to patients than ever before. #TechInMedicine #MedicalPCBs #InnovationInHealthcare #FutureOfHealthTech #PrecisionMedicine #medicalgradeproducts #PCB #healthcareinnovation #embeddedsystems #ReviveMedicalTechnologies #RMT
