Smart healthcare is transforming the medical landscape by integrating advanced IoT technologies to enable seamless interaction between patients, healthcare professionals, medical institutions, and medical devices. By leveraging data-driven insights and connectivity, smart healthcare aims to enhance diagnostic precision, improve patient care, and streamline medical services. With increasing population demands, smart technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor technologies are becoming essential components of modern healthcare, fostering its growth and innovation.
As noted in the 《China Medical Equipment Manufacturing Market Analysis and Development Report (2012–2016)》, medical professionals are placing greater emphasis on medical devices alongside traditional pharmaceuticals. The industry’s future lies in the development of intelligent, systematic medical equipment to improve diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency.
The concept of “smart healthcare” was first introduced by IBM in 2008, focusing on the use of IoT technologies to connect, share, and innovate within the medical field. The subsequent rise of mobile internet and IoT has accelerated the growth of mobile smart medical devices, which go beyond conventional wearable products to include functional medical capabilities. These devices rely on a robust combination of data collection, computation, and feedback systems to ensure precise performance.
Wearable medical devices rely on core functionalities such as data sensing (e.g., pulse, heart rate, blood pressure), ergonomic design, and technologies like flexible displays, sensor integration, and connectivity. At the heart of these devices are electronic modules (components and PCBs), which support various integrated functions crucial for accurate data processing and reliable performance.
Because wearable medical devices directly or indirectly contact the human body, they must meet stringent requirements:
Sweat, rich in salts, can corrode electronic components over time. Salt accumulation can penetrate the device’s PCB, causing irreversible damage. Similarly, water ingress, a common cause of electronic failure, poses a serious risk to wearable medical devices, which are often used in unpredictable environments.
Traditional methods for protecting PCBs involve applying waterproof coatings, adhesives, or sealants. However, these solutions have limitations in durability, application convenience, and environmental impact. For smart medical devices, ultra-thin nano coatings are the ideal alternative, offering superior protection against water, humidity, and corrosion while being environmentally friendly.
Developed by Shenzhen Super Nano Material Technology Co., Ltd. in collaboration with Dr. Shi Jifu’s research team at Jinan University, Super Nano Coatings have achieved certifications such as RoHS and SVHC from the EU. These coatings are among the most eco-friendly solutions available in China’s nano materials industry.
Super Nano Coatings have been successfully deployed in:
By enhancing waterproofing, moisture resistance, and salt spray corrosion protection, nano coatings significantly extend product lifespan and reduce maintenance costs. These features have made them the preferred choice for many leading companies in the electronics and medical industries.
