Medical electronic devices have also become smaller and more portable – often battery powered - and incorporate advanced digital electronics alongside analog circuitry to deliver comprehensive functionality.
Human-machine interfaces have also become more interactive and increase the options that hospitals and doctors’ offices have to collect, transmit, and monitor and analyze patient data. All of these factors have contributed to a major rise in shielding (EMI / RFI) and thermal management challenges faced by engineers as well as a need for both shielded and non-shielded optical windows for equipment displays.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding and Thermal Interface Materials Solutions for Life Science Devices
From health and fitness trackers to medical devices, wearable devices are one consumer electronic trend that shows no signs of slowing down. Learn about the unique EMI shielding and thermal requirements of these devices.
Robotic surgery system manufacturers and engineers consider EMI shielding when designing their systems. EMI shielding prevents equipment failure and keeps manufacturers compliant with federal regulations. Understanding EMI and taking steps to prevent it is paramount, as the resultant issues could cause robots to behave unexpectedly, such as requiring frequent restarts, showing a limited radio frequency range, moving unintentionally or affecting other nearby robots.
"When we're working with engineers these days, it's all about how can you get the smallest amount of material to solve my problem, or how can you make a material that multi-functions – it can pull heat out, but it also can absorb radiation or can be used as a capacitor, for example."
