Pacemaker technology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pacemaker technologies (or: future technologies ; English pacemaker technology ) are technologies that are still at an early stage of research and development and have not yet reached the market .

General

The term pacemaker technology has nothing to do with pacemaker technology . With regard to the product life cycle and the market potential , three types of technology can be distinguished, namely basic technologies , key technologies and pacemaker technologies. Basic technologies are in the maturity phase of their life cycle, key technologies are subject to a phase of market growth , pacemaker technologies are problem solutions and are still in the early development stage. “Killer technologies” are technologies that, when they are ready for the market, replace the existing technologies and key technologies as substitutes .

economic aspects

The use of pacemaker technology is usually associated with considerable risks and its applicability is subject to a high degree of uncertainty . The research and development costs are highest with this species. Pacemaker technologies are still in product development . Typical pacemaker technologies today are bionics , genetic engineering or nanotechnology . Each of these sectors has broad areas of application, such as nanotechnology in pharmaceuticals , cosmetics or surface technology .

With regard to the product life cycle, pacemaker technology is the starting point that has to be patented and that must be brought to market maturity through further research and development. Its market potential is rated as high and it can develop into a key technology. Research -intensive companies have a “technology portfolio” (“pipeline”) that lists the state of technology maturity. The lowest phase is the emerging pacemaker technology, followed by the stage of accelerated development (key technology, cutting edge technology ) up to the maximum phase of technology leadership .
