Reducing Size While Improving Functionality and Safety in NextGeneration Medical Device Design

摘要

System designers face multiple challenges in the medical device market, including reducing size, increasing functionality and extending battery life for implantable devices while ensuring safety through optimal security, reliability and efficacy. For equipment used in radiotherapy environments, designers also must consider the impact of single event upsets (SEUs) caused by ionizing radiation, which can lead to unintended and unexpected configuration changes.
