精简医疗可穿戴设备设计，用于性能和总成本优化 - 第2部分

我们与我们的一个现场应用工程师坐下来讨论如何优化和简化医疗可穿戴设备设计。Boyd是精简创新设计，制造和装配的专家medical wearablesto help product designers and medical device companies design for excellence (DFx). We help designers consider patient comfort & safety, manufacturing efficiency, product lifecycle, and total cost while navigating complex regulatory processes, providing global agility, assuring business continuity, and accelerating time to market.

以下是我们通过带领先的医疗设备设计和制造客户的医疗便携式设备设计项目工作的常见问题：

How do you incorporate electronics and functionality into extremely thin medical wearable devices?

Medical Wearable Device designers are tasked with packing a lot of sensitive and critically important electronics into very thin, streamlined wearables. There are all different types of sensor technology used because as sensors get smaller and less expensive, they're being integrated into more devices and enabling new medical technology.

Types of Sensors Used in Wearable Devices

心电图（ECG）监测设备，作为示例，根据位置感测电刺激conductive electrodesworn on the chest. These patches are used to sense things like heart rate, respiratory rate, and arrhythmias. Product designers are also learning how to adapt声学传感器to collect heart metrics in different locations like the wrist.

Medical Wearable Devices also sense skin or body temperature withthermistors or thermocouples.光学传感器on a wearable can measure oxygen saturation.Accelerometers andGyroscopescan measure the wearer's activity, movement, and positioning and can measure things like posture and fall detection.

共享医疗可穿戴设备数据

每个传感器都收集连接到AN的数据嵌入式电路板夹在可穿戴贴片内，或通过电动扣环连接器外部可重复使用的电子模块affixed to the wearable. Most of these wearable devices are using aWi-Fi or Bluetooth transmitterto broadcast data to a secure cloud storage source accessed remotely by patients and doctors. Sensors and electronics must also be powered by a小电池which must be considered in the assembly process.

Assembling Medical Wearable Device Components Together

医用可穿戴设备具有大量非常小，精确的部件。由于它们的纤细设计，没有多少空间可以容纳所有这些组件，并且肯定没有未对准的空间。意义为制造和装配精度设计特别重要。博伊德有很多复杂旋转converting流程我们利用在高度自动化过程中杠杆切割和组装，具有严格的公差控制和登记精度。然而，利用传统的卷轴转换方法的效率，许多医疗可穿戴设计不能在一个连续过程中完全转换“在印刷机”中。由于使用的组件的复杂性，如插入电气组件或卡扣连接器的附接或添加模制塑料壳体，通常需要单独的组装步骤。这提出了需要创造性过程流程的特殊装配挑战innovativeassembly夹具设计实现高效吞吐量和降低劳动力成本。

平衡音量和医疗可穿戴设备的装配成本

Newer medical wearable designers face special challenges as start-up companies who are trying to introduce a new technology into the market, facing long product development cycles due to regulatory / compliance requirements, and a slow ramp up due to long time of adoption. This means the economics for a fully automated assembly process are typically not feasible given the high NRE investment. Often it comes down to anefficient manual or semi-automated assembly process为了帮助最大限度地减少这些非经常性费用，以使您的可穿戴最佳机会在市场上取得成功。这是Boyd在确定最有效的方式中如何最好地组装复杂的设计，利用我们多样化的流程来确保值得信赖的质量控制。将最好的高精度与创新装配技术进行混合highly documented , and process-controlled quality system.
