With the increase in population, demand for healthcare products and services
has also risen. Therefore, the healthcare industry is adopting new technologies
such as Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) to counter the increasing complexities
it has been facing and to en-cash the advantage of micromechanics. Medical devices
based on MEMS technology could be very helpful for treating critical diseases
and surgeries such as heart diseases, deficiencies in DNA sequencing, and linking
gene deficiencies to disease. MEMS devices would be very helpful to counter
threat from new diseases. Commercialization of ultra-compact diagnosis devices,
with less stress to human body for diseases prevention and early stage diagnosis,
is primarily driving the MEMS technology market in the healthcare industry.
The aging world population, coupled with economic growth, urbanization, and
change in lifestyles, is expected to increase the demand for modern MEMS based
devices.
