With population aging and national health awareness raising, portable medical electronic has developed greatly recently. The growth space is larger and this promotes MCU development.

 At present, MCU is the main chip in household medical equipment. Now, there are some manufacturers integrating A/D into MCU. Compared with household medical equipment, hospitals equipment is simple on test complexity. On some mid-low products, simple MCU is enough, such as sphygmomanmeter and blood glucose meter. But with the market development, there are some development trend deserving attention.

First, larger storage and processing power. It can storage more data, such as test data storage of more than one month of one patient. Now the global market also requires some complicated equipment. For example America families requires equippd with ECG equipments. This requires the higher performance of medical equipment and need gaphic display function. At the same time, larger storage capacity and supporting wireless connection are necessary. Therefore, it needs largerer pocessing power of MCU and highly integration. At the same time, fast accurate operation ability and parallel processing ability are necessary. The before MCU is independent with graphic processing chip, GPU. But future integration is the trend with household medical equipment design size requiring smaller.

Second, Low power consumption.

Third, safety

Fourth, Remote chip management

It requires MCU to have the more strong security communication ability by Internet remote updating process and remote deleting patient information

Fifth, Many MCUs work at the same time and communication ability

Sixth, supporting medical data exchanging standards.

In addition, Nursing equipments of ageing population and Chronic disease management equipments have a larger demand, besides basic family medical equipment in medical electronic. The future integration, network, digital and intelligent development will be catalyst of portable medical electronics rapid growth. The future MCU integration will improve and then reduce power consumption and cost will decrease greatly.
