Product Demo:Medical Device Utilizing Inflexion UI Technology

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:15:00 GMT

The medical industry is one of the significant growth markets in today’s embedded space. However, rising healthcare costs and an aging population with more complex health conditions also set new requirements for medical devices. The usability of the devices is essential and a good, easy to use UI helps in achieving adoption of devices by both patient & practitioner.

Inflexion UI technology enables rich, highly usable user interfaces on any type of medical device that has a display. Furthermore, advanced graphical effects, such as smooth fading, scrolling, zooming, spinning and pulsing, can be incorporated easily into any screen template to increase the visual impact of UI and to make it easier to use. Inflexion UI technology enables such templates to be constructed, tested and refined all within a drag and drop desktop tool called Inflexion UI Express, allowing the product software development team to concentrate on the underlying application.

The following demonstration illustrates how Inflexion UI can be used in a medical health monitoring device to present measurements, such as blood pressure, electrocardiography (ECG), pulse, and temperature of a patient. In addition, the demonstration presents how the medical device can control the defibrillator via the user interface.

The demonstration runs on Nucleus RTOS with the Nucleus LCD driver, touch panel and input management middleware and uses Inflexion UI technology for the user interface. The medical 3D demonstration is also available for Linux-X11 running BeagleBoard.

White Paper:Power Optimizations and Fine-Grained Allocation

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 17:59:02 GMT

In the race to manufacture embedded devices that run longer on a single battery charge, power optimization has become a major requirement in embedded tools. This elusive pot of gold has many hypotheses and theories in achieving acceptable savings. This paper talks about what factors affect optimizations, popular software power optimization schemes and also brings to light one of the potential applications of Fine-Grained Allocation (FGA) technology. Many compilers solely optimize code very early in the game, but fine-grained allocation allows more optimization at link time in addition to compiler optimizations! This technique empowers the developer to handcraft a complete executable according to unique embedded application needs.

White Paper:Embedded Technology in Today's Medical Devices

Fri, 20 Oct 2006 20:41:13 GMT

Embedded technology is a crucial factor in the advancement of medical diagnosis and treatment. In fact, the medical device industry is becoming more focused on using embedded technology inside their medical products. Medical devices containing this technology are much more useful in the fight against ailments such as heart disease and neurological illnesses. Not only are these patients responding well to treatment based on the embedded devices, but they can also feel more at ease realizing that their condition may be monitored remotely by their doctor using the device (The Financial Express, 2). In this case, the device uses networking technology to transmit information about the patients’ vital signs to the physician.

In this paper, I will explore five different applications of embedded technology in medical devices: defibrillators, CRT-D devices for patients with heart failure, digital flow sensors, wireless technology in medical devices, and the integration of a graphical user interface in medical products. I will also examine the medical device market as a whole to find out where the current focus is in terms of technology. I will also discuss the benefits of embedded technology in medical devices. This discussion should also provide you with insights into the possible advancements to embedded technologies that are already inside medical devices in terms of medical diagnostics and medical treatment of patients.
