MEMS Accelerometers do and have been replacing piezoelectric
Accelerometers in many applications. There are advantages to both, though
I doubt MEMS sensors are robust enough for internal medical applications.

Subject: MEMS Inertial Sensors Applications


     I am doing a market research on various applications of MEMS based
     Inertial Sensors.  Would be great if you could answer my queries.


     Does MEMS inertial sensors have the potential of being successful in

     the commercial Medical(pacemaker/patient activity monitoring)
market?


     Does MEMS accelerometer have the potential of replacing currently
used
     piezoelectric accelerometers?


     Are there any technological hurdles/shortcomings of MEMS for this
     application?


     Thanks,


     Sanju.
