Magnetic sensors play a crucial role in medical applications

The application of magnetic sensors in the medical field, although smaller in scale than industrial fields, can save lives or improve the quality of life. Mainly used in medical devices that use directional sensors, for motor control, such as applications in ventilators; Infusion, insulin, and syringe pumps; Or a kidney dialysis machine.

Another example of the application of sensors in the medical field is a simple centrifuge used for sample preparation. Sensors are used to help control small motors, making them quieter and more reliable.

The switch is also a prominent application, used in medicine cabinets that can be safely operated, or in bed adjustments and hearing aids. In the field of hearing aids, giant magnetoresistive sensor ICs (GMRs) compete with Hall and reed switches.
