What are medical sensors?

In a wide range of medical applications, medical sensors play an essential role in ensuring the safety of the equipment. These are in-home care products, doctor's offices, lab equipment, and medical gadgets used in intensive care units.

These medical devices assist with diagnosing, preventing, monitoring cables, and treating a disease or injury. Sensors are crucial to the high quality and reliability of your products. To ensure the quality of our products and services, we follow certification procedures in all aspects of our operations, including development, production, and service.

Now, we will discuss medical sensors and their types in this section.

Features Of Medical Sensors:

To guarantee that a given device operates appropriately in response to inputs, they must: 

  • Meet the safety requirements of IEC 60601-1; 
  • Meet all regulatory requirements, including various enforcement and standards for quality management, risk management, usability, and functional safety.
  • It must produce accurate and precise measurements.
  • The measurement should be highly swift, stable, and responsive.
  • To communicate with microcontrollers and microprocessors, they need to offer digital outputs like I2C.

Types Of Medical Sensors

Sensors are tools that identify physical, chemical, and biological signals and offer a mechanism to quantify and record such signals. There are different types of medical sensors used for their various applications:

  1. Temperature probes: It is used to measure the body temperature and helps in providing better medication and treatment for patients.
  2. Force sensors: It is used in kidney dialysis machines.
  3. Airflow sensors: Used in giving anesthesia to the patients, laparoscopy, heart pump, etc.
  4. Pressure sensors are used in infusion pumps and sleep apnea machines. Most pressure sensors are integrated with embedded systems and generally used for medical diagnosis, monitoring product parts, infusion pumps, etc.
  5. Oximeter: It measures the fraction of oxygen saturated hemoglobin relative to the original hemoglobin count.
  6. Glucometer: Used to measure blood glucose concentration.
  7. Heart Rate sensor: Measure the heart contractions.
  8. Electrocardiogram sensor (ECG): Used to measure the heart's electrical activity.

How are medical sensors advancing the healthcare sector?

People want to live longer and expect an excellent quality of life, and the hospital offers the facility at their homes for most treatments. In recent years, healthcare devices will get smaller, smarter, and easy to use and produce at a low cost. Patient care is moving from hospitals to their homes, and this change is becoming very powerful and innovative to connect the patients to their doctors more thoughtfully.

Patient data is collected by various sensors attached to these devices. The doctors will collect and analyse this data and proceed with the appropriate treatment. These disposable sensors provide us with accuracy, low power consumption, and digital output.
