The 83rd China International Medical Fair (CMEF)/Changing Trends in Medical Device Development

       The 83rd China International Medical Fair (CMEF) was held as scheduled at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center from October 19th to 22nd, 2020. The fair witnessed a significant transformation in the products developed by global medical device development teams. We have found that mainstream development trends are changing the way medical devices support patients, doctors, pharmacies, and record keeping (for tracking historical data). The newly introduced data collection function will support the introduction of artificial intelligence. The Value Based Healthcare (VBC) model drives medical experts to determine the underlying causes of doctors' diagnoses, while creating opportunities for disease prevention and early intervention. With the continued trend of VBC, another major change in the healthcare industry will shift the healthcare market towards "point of care" (POC); The direction has changed. Remote healthcare is changing the POC model. You don't need to be present, the doctor can take care of you and ultimately generate a diagnosis. You can even use a computer or phone to interact with medical experts through video conferencing assistance。

       Nowadays, these changes are accelerating globally. With the change in face-to-face contact with medical experts, a weak link has emerged in the security chain: vital signs, which are accurate and timely health information collected directly from the patient during contact. This stage has promoted the development of active and interconnected portable medical devices. These medical devices can provide real-time, accurate, and important information obtained from patients, while still ensuring remote fixed-point care. All of this data needs to be recorded for accurate historical tracking, in order to achieve outstanding performance in other areas of concern: prevention and early intervention。

A new round of product development is currently underway. Desung D-SWITCH is a benchmark in the field of micro electromechanical detection and switch solutions. The product development team is researching how to collect data from its equipment. We also discovered various detection attributes commonly mentioned by original equipment manufacturers and design companies in the product development and design process。

Desung D-SWITCH provides solutions for the following electrical switches：

Data collection and detection, portable and Internet based medical devices

• Light touch on/off
• Metal button on/off
• Power On/Off
• Passive timer selection switch
• A "clutch type" switch solution with instant connection position or three state switch
• Specific products with normally closed options
