Improving Patient Outcomes

Medical device technology is advancing, with breakthroughs coming via AI, Radar, miniaturization, sensors, robots, and lower power consumption. We take you on a fantastic voyage through the technology that will produce the next revolution in medical practices and improve patient outcomes.

Improving patient outcomes, enhancing diagnostics or regulatory compliance are all critical goals for embedded design efforts in the medical device industry, and the advances in hardware and software development hold the promise of making these tasks easier, longer in duration, more secure, and with higher accuracy and reliability than the last generation of equipment. One company describes a wearable medical band designed to detect "conspicuous" irregularities in a patient's continuous vital sign stream and advise an action to help, such as taking medication. However, it can also differentiate and detect "serious" irregularities, alerting doctors or emergency responders when triggered.

Bringing Cost-Effective, On-Device AI to Home Appliances - Sparse Weights and Interactions Negate GPUs and Cloud Computing

GPU silicon and cloud computing infrastructure are too costly for mass markets devices like refrigerators and washers. By deploying compute resources only to the necessary parts of AI inference, Sparse AI allows product designers to practically incorporate new AI features like natural voice interfaces into their consumer offerings without breaking the bank or electric bill surprises.

Thin Film Transistor LED Displays - Visual I/O

To add a resistive touchscreen on top of a TFT display, Jeff explores the technology offerings and libraries needed to accomplish his task. Calibrating the touchscreen's computed coordinates with the actual pixel coordinates of the display proved difficult with a modular framework but separating functions allows easy expansion.

Mobile APP Development with React Native

This month, Bob continues his series on mobile app development from an embedded designer's perspective. He programs a React Native app and he offers guidelines for picking a tutorial for React Native. He further explores how it handles concurrency and asynchronous programming. Bob expected a few nuances during the process but to say there were more than a few would be an understatement.

Power Analysis Over JTAG Ports: Hidden Debug Dangers - Block Side-Channel Analysis Attacks

Small changes in the phase of clock signals can encode power leakages. An attacker can use standard interfaces such as the JTAG port to drive clocks across targets, using them as measurement techniques for sidechannel analysis attacks despite limited physical access. This article demonstrates how you can test devices for vulnerability and how to modify devices to prevent attacks.
