Is There a Need for Advanced Manufacturer in Medical Technology?
There is almost no example of implantable medical technology that really depends on microfabricated sensors and actuators. Almost all medical devices today are, are traditionally finished, meaning human hands are making and finishing the devices. And so we are seeing a need for advanced manufacturer in medical technology. But also it does, of course, come with a number of considerations, including investment dollars for how to scale up that manufacturer. I can say that these devices will be more expensive than the current generation of,. of implantable neural devices like deep brain stimulators, then pacemakers, then cochlear implants, and so on.
