“Bluetooth and in particular the Bluetooth 4.0 specification which includes Bluetooth Low Energy is expected to see rapid adoption in medical devices. Bluetooth Low Energy offers significant benefits for medical devices by providing a secure, low latency, low power solution for delivering small packets of data, such as for medical devices,” said Downey.
The conference also features several other presentations on topics including interoperability, patient safety, best practices for risk management and the future of medical device connectivity.
