 The case study chose to take :
 1800 companies which are active in this field.
 They were selected from the three most significant economic
areas viz. United States, Asia Pacific and Europe.

Key concepts discussed in the
case
 The application of MEMS for medical instrumentation and
analysis comprise of
 The endoscope for extracting cell and swab for their
withdrawal along with exhaling air sensors.
 Application for implants and actuators comprise of eye,
shoulder, cochlear and dropped implants of the foot.

Analysis of the situation(s)
discussed in the case
 The situation analyzed in the case pertains:
 Analysis of the market trends and growth of Bio-MEMS
industry with the help of roadmap model.
 The industry has progressed quickly along with the
manufacturing of new products.

Analysis of the situation(s)
discussed in the case
 The application of MEMS for the medical instrumentation
comprises :
 The endoscope for extraction of cell and swabs for
withdrawing cells in various parts of the body along with
the Exhaler air sensors (Sarin, 2015).
 The implants and actuators comprise of heart
pacemakers, pumping of the lung air, blood and other
liquids

Analysis of the situation(s)
discussed in the case
 The manufacturing and packaging of Bio-MEMS are
dependent upon :
 The type of application and material used.
 The technologies of manufacturing comprise assembling,
packing and testing. It uses standard packaging by applying
silicon materials like the pressure sensors, micropumps and
microvalves etc(Bloomberg & Volpe,2012).

Analysis of the situation(s)
discussed in the case
 The roadmap model also comprises of analysis of R and D
centers.
 The investments and programs of Bio-MEMS and the
patents, trends and reports of the intellectual property
organizations(AF Ragab & Arisha,2013).

Conclusion
 Hence to conclude:
 It can be said that above article has presented a method for
Strategic Intelligence in a technology-based business. The
roadmap model has been used for suggesting the users for
business decision making.
