PANEL DISCUSSION OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OF SENSOR DEVELOPMENT THROUGH ADVANCED MICRO AND NANOSCALE MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS Biological and Chemical Sensors Summit

摘要

Limited number of success stories to date Limited number of commercial companies in production Limited number of parameters currently being measured: - Pressure/force/touch; - Gas analyses; - Temperature; - Humidity. Rapid growth foreseen by market research groups...CAGR of 35% from 2014/2024 (Lux); 8 B US by 2025 (IDTechEx) - Replacement of existing solutions; - Creation of new solutions based on enabling nature of P/F. Will require a significant marketing/applications pull vs. technology push. Wearables for sport fitness, disposables, package tracking, e-healthcare and environmental monitoring expected to propel market. Ability to scale to R2R for large volume/low cost application opportunities. Low cost CAPEX makes commercialization by many organizations possible. I believe that the success of P/F sensors will weigh heavily on the success of P/F electronics...the future will be interesting!
