As medical cases worldwide have soared, so too has the demand for smart, connected and secure IoT-enabled medical devices. Future Electronics and Microchip are experienced partners that can help meet design requirements smoothly and safely by helping medical manufacturers design and implement clinical, wearable and life-critical devices.
Microchip’s Single-Chip Vibrating Mesh Nebulizer Demonstration Board is ideal for cost-effective drug delivery devices and has many advantages, such as a small size, portability, quiet operation, short treatment times, battery operation, increased output efficiency and minimal residual volume. The integrated Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) on Microchip’s PIC16F1713 8-bit MCU significantly offload the MCU’s core in handling the control functions of a piezoelectric transducer mesh nebulizer.
Microchip’s Ultra Low-Power or ULP Connected Wearable Activity Monitor Demonstration Board can be used as the starting point for the design of more advanced activity and biometric measurement devices in medical home monitoring, patient tracking and drug delivery compliance devices. These devices measure and analyze sleep quality, heart rate, body temperature, blood oxygen and more. Bluetooth connectivity allows the demo to communicate with tablets, smartphones or PCs for IoT capability.
Microchip’s Connected Thermometer Board showcases the ability to apply advanced MCUs and Bluetooth modules for premium performance and connectivity. The technology is now being integrated into many consumer products such as connected fitness and medical activity trackers. Featuring Microchip’s PIC16F1519 MCU and RN42 Bluetooth Module, this eXtreme Low Power (XLP) 8-bit microcontroller has an integrated touch sensing module for easy interactivity.
Microchip’s Pulse Oximeter Demonstration Design enables simple and advanced Internet of Things (IoT) medical device designs. With the increased demand to measure heart rate and blood oxygen saturation, using one of Microchip’s many medical demo designs can quickly send the data to Google’s Cloud IoT core platform so you can keep track of the measurements safely. This is accomplished by using the Pulse Oximeter Demonstration Design along with the AVR-IoT WG Development Board.

The gas industry’s professional engineering institution, the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM), held its inaugural safety conference on 9th June. Supported by the Gas Industry Safety Group (GISG), the conference was held online.
Conference delegate, Helen Robertson, of the digital learning and assessment specialist, eCom Scotland, commented, “Safety being a vital pillar of the gas industry, this conference outlined – among other things – the progress that’s being made to deliver the safety case for developing a UK hydrogen economy. There was also news of the latest carbon monoxide research, along with safety initiatives such as the Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure (IGEM/G/11), as well as updates on improving competence and safety in high rise residential buildings (HRRB).”
Helen continued, “Being such a safety-conscious, highly-regulated industry, organisations in the gas industry are missing out if they don’t take advantage of the benefits of innovative learning and assessment technologies – including virtual reality – to develop their workforce’s knowledge, skills and competence faster, more effectively and more cost-efficiently. Moreover, the ones who’ll suffer most from this stick-in-the-mud, overly-traditional approach to corporate learning, development and assessment are the industry’s customers – the public.
“For example, as eCom knows from first-hand experience, many industries which also place a great emphasis on safety are using virtual reality to develop their workforce’s competency in a safe learning environment,” she added. “This includes using eCom’s own Cloud-based virtual reality authoring tool, eNetReality, to develop online learning materials and objective assessments which can be delivered on any device – from immersive headsets to mobile devices and desktop computers.”
Helen Robertson’s colleague at eCom, the learning technologies specialist, Emma Dickson – speaking at an ‘Assessment and Evaluation in the Workforce’ event in April this year, explained, “The use of online videoconferencing tools is playing a big role in the ‘new normal’ for remote observational assessments – often because organisations now see both time and cost saving efficiencies with the removal of travel from the assessment process.
“The pervasive use of mobile devices has allowed online observational assessment to become a reality,” Emma added, “and organisations are inventing new ways to use this delivery model. Our experience is where assessors, typically, use a mobile device to interact with the candidates.
“Organisations then get an immediate view of all assessment taking place and can see how each assessment group is performing. They can set up global marking schemes, or rubrics, independent of assessors, that provide scores on selected criteria to produce standardised and fairer results across defined target groups.”
In Helen Robertson’s view, “A number of organisations are using a tool called ‘Comply’ for an effective and efficient 21st century approach to compliance tracking. Investing in digital technologies creates efficiencies that are needed for long-term, sustainable growth in a new energy world.
“Relying on technology to keep accurate training records helps with compliance and contributes to an increase in employee safety,” she added. “Moreover, it reduces costs and ‘lost time’, improves time-to-market, maintains workers’ credentials and increases safety – for workers and their customers.”
eCom is Cyber Essentials Plus certified and its suite of digital learning and assessment products is available via G-Cloud 12 – the UK Government’s framework for cloud-delivered ICT goods and services on the Digital Marketplace.
