Digital Health, Wireless, and Wearable Medical Device Design

ACME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT specializes in Digital Health Wireless Medical technology, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology for its low power consumption and high interoperability with smartphones, making it a cornerstone of portable and efficient wireless medical devices. Wireless, interconnected healthcare systems improve caregiver/patient connection, evidence-based procedure outcome, deep-learning technologies, and analysis. ACME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT provides technologies and techniques to aid healthcare professionals, and patients manage illness and health risks while promoting wellbeing. The discipline holds the promise to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and make treatment more personalize and precise. This includes post-surgical recovery, management of chronic diseases, medication compliance, early diagnosis, and the reduction of clinical visits. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology plays a pivotal role in this ecosystem by enabling secure, continuous, and real-time health data transmission from wearable devices to practitioners and patients alike.

LED Technologies

Early medical devices employed incandescent light source technology such as halogen lamps, or high intensity discharge lamps, such as xenon, for sample excitation and other applications. These lamps emit a broad spectrum requiring expensive optical components, such as narrow band optical filters, are not stable and have a short use life. The advancements in LED (light-emitting diode) technology has facilitated simpler, less expensive, and superior designs. LED has a relatively narrow visible spectrum emission, longer life, and offers a more stable intensity and control through regulated constant current and feedback. High intensity light-emitting diodes are now readily available but require more thermal management. Outside the visible spectrum, ultra-violet (UV), near infrared (NIR), and infrared (IR) light-emitting diodes are available.

IVD Diagnostics Instruments

ACME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT has a long track record of developing in-vitro diagnostic instruments, designing leading-edge clinical laboratory systems for immunoassays and blood chemistry. Such systems employ disposable cartridges, optics, and fluidics, driven by advanced control systems.

At the point of care, our customers seek to acquire patient data in minimally invasive ways while reducing caregiver workloads. Devices are often in constant use, so reliability and durability rank high in user needs. Users may be well-trained in this setting, but face high cognitive demands – physical and software user interfaces that ensure proper operation are essential.

Patient Monitors & Advanced Medical Systems

Today’s medical devices are increasingly complex. Enormous computing power is being directed at medical tasks, and entire laboratories are being reduced to reside on a tiny hybrid chip. Minimally-invasive procedures using guidance from advanced diagnostic measures (e.g., LASIK) are becoming common, and technologies are being combined to better understand patient conditions (e.g. PET/CT). Such combinations improve the utility and performance of devices but add considerably to their complexity.

Another trend in medical equipment is downsizing and portability. Having compact instruments that can be carried or rolled to the patient saves time and effort transporting patients. Making a complex instrument portable or transportable (carts) presents a new set of safety and environmental challenges, but it’s something ACME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT has done over and over.
