Learn to Incorporate Sensors Into Your Next Design Idea
The future of orthopaedic medical devices is small—microscopically small. Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, referred to as MEMS devices or sensors, are already used in a host of medical devices, doing tasks that were previously only conceived of in science fiction. Sensors the size of a flea can now measure strain, temperature or resistivity. They can measure acceleration, frequency and electrical impulses. MEMS can be used to make microscopic gears to tune hearing aids, capa
