Medical technology, embedded systems are the behind-the-scenes workhorses of life-saving devices—from portable insulin pumps to wearable heart monitors. These systems must be 100% reliable, often on limited power sources. Managing that power isn’t just a technical consideration; it’s a business-critical priority.
Why Power Management Matters
When it comes to medical devices, power management isn’t just about saving battery life. It’s about:
- Patient Safety: A power failure can be disastrous.
- Regulatory Compliance: Medical devices must meet strict international standards, many of which touch on power reliability.
- Market Competitiveness: Longer battery life means better user experience and lower maintenance costs.
In short, the stakes are high. Get power management wrong and you’ll lose revenue, have product recalls or worse.
