Home Monitoring, Medical Wearables, Diabetes Care and Drug Delivery Device Design
By Roger Bohannan | April 23, 2018
The wearable medical devices market is expected to reach USD $14.4 Billion by 2022 from $6.22 Billion just last year (Research & Markets). While doctors and nurses are more sophisticated users of medical devices, home healthcare patients are less familiar with medical device interfaces. Although both environments help with patient care, the demands and expectations are different.
C&K can help design engineers find the perfect medical switch developed specifically for home healthcare devices: medical wearables, eHealth, drug delivery, diabetes care, nebulizers, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and scales. Let C&K help you get your medical switch search started:
