Does the medical market lead or follow when it comes to the adoption of new technologies?
What I’ve seen is that it depends on the kind of technology you are talking about – and it is almost diametrically opposed. When it comes to things like microcontrollers, design engineers are looking for proven, off-the-shelf technology that works. So they will be able to leverage all of the groundwork and development effort that has been laid down in this area. On the other hand, they are willing to be more innovative in areas such as sensors and materials. Steve Kennelly is the Medical Products Group Manager of Microchip.
