As our technological devices become smaller and more portable, healthcare companies are tasked with creating medical devices that can go unnoticed by the user while collecting long-term data. This challenge is a key point of focus at the Medical Electronic Device Realization Center (MEDRC) in Cambridge, Mass., a partnership between industry — microelectronics experts, medical device creators and medical professionals — and academia like MIT. MEDRC aims to create innovative microelectronic technology to improve healthcare outcomes.
