Bullet The 2nd International Conference on Sensor Device Technologies and Applications (SENSORDEVICES 2011): Call for Paper

      

     August 21-27, 2011 - French Riviera, France

 

 

Most of the sensor-oriented research and industry initiatives are focusing on sensor networks, data security, exchange protocols, energy optimization, and features related to intermittent connections. Recently, the concept of Internet-of-things gathers attention, especially when integrating IPv4 and IIPv6 networks. The followup and complementing event SENSORDEVICES 2011, The Second International Conference on Sensor Device Technologies and Applications, initiates a series of events focusing on sensor devices themselves, the technology-capturing style of sensors, special technologies, signal control and interfaces, and particularly sensors-oriented applications.  The evolution of the nano-and microtechnologies, nanomaterials, and the new business services make the sensor device industry and research on sensor-themselves very challenging.

 

We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

 

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

 

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

Bullet Sensors Market in Medical Applications

 

 

LONDON – 17 November 2010 – The sensors market in medical applications is poised to see rapid growth, driven by the constant demand for better and improved healthcare, sensors’ rising importance in almost all medical devices, further developments in sensor technology and newer medical applications for sensors.

 

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.sensors.frost.com) Sensors Market in Medical Applications, finds that the market earned revenues of $6,051.8 million in 2009 and estimates this to reach $12,445.6 million in 2016. The following sensors are covered in this research: pressure, temperature, flow, accelerometer, bio, encoders, SQUID and image sensors.

 

Rising healthcare costs, aging population and the need for medical diagnosis and treatment in developing and underdeveloped regions are driving the sensors market in medical applications. In addition, various world economies are expected to continue to drive trends in the sensors market in medical applications, both from a growth perspective and technology/product advancement perspective.

 

“Sensors are playing an important role in enhancing safety and improving the quality of life in the healthcare arena,” notes Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst V. Sankaranarayanan. “Sensors’ advancements in inherent accuracy, intelligence, capability, reliability, small size and low power consumption are expanding their use in medical applications.”

 

Sensors can increase the intelligence of life-supporting implants. They can be used in new types of monitoring applications to support a better quality of life for patients. In addition, the sensors can be employed for identifying advanced symptoms and preventing serious illnesses, where possible.

 

The slower rate of penetration of advanced medical systems in developing regions remains a key constraint for the market.

 

“The penetration of most advanced products and technologies in developing and underdeveloped regions is always slower compared to the West,” explains Sankaranarayan. “This applies for the medical sensors market as well.”

 

Educating end users and creating awareness about the benefits and role of advanced sensors in preventing illness and saving lives can boost the penetration rate. In addition, as the prices of advanced medical sensors are reduced and affordable, their penetration rate is set to increase in developing and underdeveloped regions.
