The BioStampRC wearable medical device is not much bigger than a bandage, yet it contains electronic and mechanical technology that is only possible with flexible PCB technology. The flagship product for MC10 is theBioStampRC, a wearable sensor patch that can be placed anywhere on the human body to gather deep insights into physical issues, such as muscular disease.
Its technology platform combines conventional electronics and novel mechanics to enable a new generation of thin, orthomorphic electronic systems that can stretch, bend and twist seamlessly with the human body. Much of the use of their wearable sensors is in medical research, where the devices can collect complex physiological data with electronics that are virtually invisible, conformal and wearable. Wearable technology company MC10, founded in 2008, develops a variety of wearable medical devices that can monitor a wide range of data. Not only has the quality and variety of monitored data improved, but importantly, the patches are easily covered by clothing, protecting the patient’s privacy. One of the areas that wearable devices are making a huge impact is in the medical industry where small, unobtrusive “patches” have replaced monitors that were worn on the patient’s belt or required a shoulder strap.
IDTechEx calls for the $30 billion 2016 market to triple to $150 billion in 10 years. The wearable electronic device market continues to grow at breakout pace.
