UBM TechInsights has launched a new line of medical electronics product teardowns, providing licensed access to expert teardown reports on medical electronics for OEMs, semiconductor manufacturers, IP professionals and industry analysts worldwide.

The teardown reports offer players in the medical electronics market place valuable intelligence on the new technologies and companies shaping the industry.

UBM TechInsights teardown reports reveal integrated circuit (IC) content, system architecture, system metrics, and sub-assembly metrics for a growing list of new medical electronics devices.

The information is valued by technical marketing, product planning, and competitive intelligence staff within both medical electronic device companies and semiconductor firms supplying the medical sector.

UBM TechInsights Business Development for Medical Devices vice president Gary Johnson said the accelerated patent activity has accompanied the intense innovation in the medical devices market, as semiconductor and consumer electronics companies leverage their technologies for personal fitness and medical devices ranging from heart rate and vital signs monitors, to blood glucose meters and wireless stethoscopes.

"In order to protect, manage, and assert their intellectual property rights, companies require timely analysis of new products from a variety of relevant categories. Our medical electronics teardowns provide insights that help customers minimize the risks of costly litigation, lost revenue, and weakened market share." Johnson said.

Insights gained from forensic technical analysis such as teardown reports help technology companies proactively manage the innovation process, as recommended in UBM TechInsights’ IP Lifecycle Management best practices.
