Opportunity and challenge of medical electronics market

Opportunity

Due to the growing aged people, the ME market is also growing!

Opportunity for who?

More IT companies want to join this field.

Why IT industry want get in Medical ?Looking for new applicationMedical product

High margin Longer Product Lifetime Endless need

What other IT giants thinks

Almost all IT giants (HW/SW/IC) declared to enter medical market or initialized medical-related development IntelMicrosoftTexas Instrument

Intel

Intel

World leading CPU/IC manufacturerHave latest technology for manufacture ICMoore’s Law45nm/32nm

Why Intel want to get in

medical market ? Grow our markets: supply computing and

communications technologies to a broadly defined home health & wellness market which is poised for massive growth worldwide

Healthy workforce: insure our own 80,000 employees worldwide have tools, technologies, and training to care for their own aging parents

Healthy economy for business: catalyze new paradigms of health care to head off looming worldwide economic crisis from high-cost, clinic-centric care that cannot scale to meet the needs of the age wave

We will never be a healthcare company. We will never be a healthcare company. We supply technology ingredients. But We supply technology ingredients. But we continue to lead R&D in new areas. we continue to lead R&D in new areas. And some new players will shape next And some new players will shape next generation technologies for the next generation technologies for the next

Development Strategy

Join policy / standard associationDevice interoperability standards Personal health records Medical information standards

Intel is committed to understanding the needs of healthcare professionals, as well as anticipating and responding to future needs.

Early start

Start from 1999, Intel researchers began focusing on healthcare needs and how technology could address them

In 2002, Intel established Proactive Health Lab, to explore new technologies that will help people to proactively manage their health and wellness, to prevent or delay the onset of disease.

2 focus

IT in healthcare help healthcare enterprise run more efficiently and

effectively healthcare system, hospital, clinic, biopharma compa

ny, payor, government agency, or ministry of health.

Personal telehealth challenges ahead

Patients remain at home Patients and clinicians work together to achieve the b

est outcomes Patients are viewed in their totality, including their he

alth status, as well as their social network, and their individual capabilities and preferences

The evolution of remote patient monitoring

http://www.intel.com/healthcare/pdf/RPM6_12.pdf

Gotten FDA clearance for a health monitor which can interface with wired or wireless health measurement devices such as glucose meters and blood pressure cuffs in July,2008

“Health care is the mother of all big businesses …. this is life and death—some people will get access to this ‘health-care mainframe,’ and everybody else dies.”

TI’s path into medical device

In 90s, they have develop some ICs for medical imaging, ultrasound, etc.

In 2006form a medical electronic department

Develop less power consumption, lower cost, smaller size product for medical applications

Focus on SoC (system on chip) and wireless

TI’s strategy in medical electronics

TI’s Vision for medical electronics

Short conclusion of IT giants

All IT giants start from their core competence

Closely cooperate with health care provider—doctor, nurses, physicians

From hospital to home, gradually

What about other traditional medical electronics company?

How about GE/Philips/Siemens?

They are not pure IT/electronic companies All had long history working on medical

electronic device They had key advanced element/ technique

GE invented CT in 1975 Philips manufacture X-ray tube in 1896 Siemens had first wholly commercial particle

therapy project in Germany

Their vision can be viewed as the next generation of landmark

GE vision: Early health

Early health is focused on enabling earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment of disease.Cancer

PET/CT Mammography

Cardiac Ultrasound High-speed CT

Chance for Taiwan IT?

Chances/challenges for Taiwan IT?

What can we do?OEM? BP monitor? Thermometer?

Fight directly with Large MD company?Need too much source Lack of core technique

Follow IT Giants?Lack of brand

Chance for Taiwan?

Which way?

Capsule endoscope

Fetal movement detection

Biopad Founded in 2004 Have raised $3 million

provide (a) the baby's activity is

within normal range (b) fetal movement has

declined and that she should see her clinician

Mother will use the disposable pads (up to three times a day) for a period of 20 minutes each time

Learn from Israel

What did they do?Solve problems that bother doctors or pati

ents Endoscope vs capsule Long time measurement of fetal movement

Provide value

Another example but not ME: Fitbit

Fitbit automatically tracks your fitness and sleep

Fitbit

raised $2 million in 2008 Oct uses the information it gathers about your

movement to help you determine how much exercise you've been getting and how many calories you've burnt.

It can also tell you how many steps you have taken and how well you've slept, all based on its internal motion detector

So What can Taiwan IT do?

OEM is easier, familiar, faster to make money

But not a long term choice Try to solve some “clinical” and

“urgent need” problem!

Myth of Telemedicine

Telemedicine(TM)

Telemedicine

Telemedicine=tele+medicineTele: use nowadays tech to achieve. Ex:wireles

sMedicine: detect+diagnosis+treatment

Should be more than “device”! “Health care provider” and “Service” will b

e the most important part!
