Welcome to the Biomedical Users Group! I'm an NI employee with a keen interest in the application of our tools to problems in biomedical research and medical device design. Much of my industry background (some 20+ years) has been involved in the design and development of products used in both research and for clinical applications, primarily in the neurosciences. Back in the '90s I was a customer of NI's and was able to successfully develop a commercial data acquisition and analysis tool built on LabVIEW. The success of that product led to a more ambitious clinical EEG system that successfully achieved FDA clearance - perhaps the first LabVIEW application to jump that hurdle.
Today we see many amazing applications of LabVIEW and other NI technology in biomedical applications ranging from automated cellular imaging and sorting, to laser eye surgery, to minimally invasive surgical devices and even medical robotics. The natural strengths of LabVIEW to work with real signals, perform complex processing, and display results in intuitive and innovative ways is a perfect fit in this world. Coupled with the truly game changing performance and reliability of FPGA technology and LabVIEW becomes a single tool that can truly span the needs of the whole biomedical engineering and scientific community.
With the help of this forum I help that we can build an active community of experts, novices, veterans, skeptics, champions, and everything in between. This is a great way to for you to share ideas, solve problems, find related products, express frustration, show off your latest success, or maybe even make some connections.
So let's share - what are you doing with NI tools and technology?
