Advancements in technologies and materials and socioeconomic and geopolitical trends are bringing drastic transformations in every industry, including medical device manufacturing. Reacting to these changes, the medical supply chain is rapidly aligning itself accordingly to stay relevant in the competition. For instance, medical device manufacturers are embracing cloud technology and devising solutions based on it to meet the pressing demands of improved healthcare–lower ongoing maintenance costs, faster installations of applications, cheaper than on-premise solutions, and easier to link different locations together. Also, cloud-based solutions are known to catalyse collaboration across disparate product development network, which in turn increases their ROI. Furthermore, additive manufacturing or 3D printing is also creating ripples and helping manufacturers to promote customised healthcare.
In addition, to address the growing consumer demands of smart wearables, manufacturers have diversified the types of wearable technologies to cater to all. The biosensors embedded in these devices collect real-time data and notify any abnormalities observed. The next-gen wearable technologies also have flexible and semi-flexible programmable logic boards affixed to each component for effective shock absorption, without compromising on the durability of the finished product. Presently there are wearable technologies that keep employees safe at their workplace and also at-home, including wearables for patients who cannot travel. GPS-enabled worn devices with attractive features and designs are made for children to help parents and caregivers keep track of them and their health. To add, manufacturers give special attention to these devices so that they are able to manage heat, battery life, rugged environments such as for use in strenuous workplaces.
