Wrist-wearable medical devices: technologies and applications

Med Device Technol. 2003 Sep;14(7):26-30.

Abstract

Standard HDP technologies such as COB can be involved early in the development stage. They help to form the development process and to meet size requirements without exhausting the development budget. Higher HDP production costs are negligible compared with the total development, field test and regulatory approval costs. Using HDP for miniaturisation, it is possible to make applications of previously lab-scale equipment for WMDs and for implants.
