The best application of electronics in the medical field is gas analyzer. It is used to calculate the pressure of the chemical elements like carbon monoxide, nitrogen, oxygen in blood. By analyzing results we able to understand if any disorder in blood, particularly after we feel sick quite 2days.
Blood gas analyzers consist of three electrodes measuring pH, PCO2, and PO2 at 37°C. They were introduced in about 1960 following inventions by R Stow (CO2) and L Clark (PO2) both dating from 1954. ... Hemoglobin oxygen saturation, SO2%, is also directly measured by multiwavelength blood oximeters.
The International Federation for Medical Electronics and Biological Engineering was founded in 1959.
Miniaturization.
Miniaturization, low weight, and low volume are as important in medical electronics as in space electronics and other applications. The small size and weight are benefits of hybrid microcircuits; they have been used for a long time in pacemakers and defibrillators. The attachment and packaging of bare-chip devices with conductive and insulative adhesives has provided major reductions in weight and space over printed-wiring board technologies. The hermetic sealing by welding has also assured protection of the electronics from moisture and other body fluids, as well as protecting the body from outgassing or other contaminants from the electronic modules. Miniaturization is necessary for the new generation of hearing aids. Some designs consist of a thinned silicon IC embedded and connected to a flexible polyimide circuit that is then folded to reduce volume.
