It can be reasonably said that Medical
Electronics is an area, where Electronics and
Information Communication Technology plays a decisive role.
Information on Anatomy and Physiology is Electronically Monitored,
Controlled, Transmitted and Processed. Resulting in Display
and Storage of accurate Information, which synergises with
efficient diagnosis and therapy.
The impact of Medical Electronics
is evident on Diagnostics and Personal Medical Devices, Patient
Care, Surgery, Drug Delivery. State of the art examples are
- Personal Medical Devices,
- Bio-physical monitoring, Scanning
& Imaging
- Life Support Systems, Implants
- Cardiac Sciences, Telemedicine
- Nuclear Medicine
- Bionics in Rehabilitation of Physically
Challenged
- Embedded Technology in Neuro
(ASIC and Stroke Recovery)
 FICCI
supported by WHO and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
organised The
International Conference on "Medical Electronics - Advancements
on Products and Embedded Systems" in December 2006.
It was the first of its kind in Asia, where the Medical Electronics
fraternity envisaged a designated FICCI M.E.FORUM which will
enlarge the scope and opportunities in this sector.
Responding to the requirements of
the Medical Electronics Industry and to create awareness about
the opportunities as the next growth area after IT sector,
FICCI has LAUNCHED the FICCI MEF(FICCI Medical Electronics
Forum) on October 23, 2007 at FICCI New Delhi.
Mission of FICCI-MEF
