Inemi Workshop to Highlight On Medical Electronics Packaging Technologies

The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI), an industry-led consortium, is sponsoring a workshop on the technical and dogmatic challenges estimated in the implantable and portable segments of the medical electronics industry. The day-and-a-half workshop, scheduled for September 16-17 in Berlin will focus on identifying the technology challenges and regularity gaps that can best be solved by collaborative efforts by the medical electronics industry.

In the past 10 years, innovation has led to major advances in medical diplomacy and the therapies they deliver, said Bill Bader, CEO of iNEMI. The volatile growth of implantable and personal medical electronics is driving accelerated approval of efficiency technologies. Continuous technology improvements, the high-reliability requirements innate in medical electronics and the unique necessity for compatibility with the human body, present significant challenges for substrate, packaging and interrelate technologies used in these products.

iNEMI has road mapped the technology wants of the medical electronics segment for several years, continued Bader, and we have recognized multiple areas where further technology development is needed. With this workshop, we hope to bring together medical electronics companies from the implantable, portable and imaging segments to categorize the most critical needs, determine which needs are best solved through mutual efforts and then form action groups to begin the required work.
