Ultrakompakt sensorplatform til wearable health og fitness applikationer
Maxim’s præsenterer den såkaldt hSensor platform med ARM mbed support til let og hurtig udvikling af wearable health og fitness applikationer (in english).
Designers of health, wellness, and high-end fitness applications can quickly and easily validate next-generation solutions with the ultra-small hSensor platform with 25.4mm x 30.5mm dimensions from Maxim Integrated Products.Creating a custom board with sensors can be complex, as designers must first build custom hardware and firmware to validate their concepts and then build prototypes before starting any field trials. From there, they generally spend a significant amount of time evaluating sensors and existing solutions.
Maxim's hSensor Platform eliminates the extra 3-6 months it typically takes to develop a prototype by bringing all the hardware building blocks together on one PCB, as well as having readily-accessible hardware functionality with the ARM mbed hardware development kit (HDK).
The hSensor Platform, offered as the MAXREFDES100# reference design, includes an hSensor board, complete firmware with drivers, a debugger board, and a graphical user interface (GUI). With access to firmware source code on Maxim's website, the platform allows designers to load algorithms for different use cases and adapt to their specific applications.
Customers can download the firmware to optimize designs, enable faster evaluations, and significantly reduce time to market. The hSensor Platform is the only complete development platform available today and is ideal for health, wellness, and high-end fitness applications such as chest straps, ECG patches, wrist-worn devices, thermometers, disposable temperature patches, blood oxygen measurement, smart weigh scales, and bio authentication. For example, one can design a wearable patch to continuously record ECG on a single CR2032 battery for twice as long compared to today's existing solutions-a power savings of more than 50%.
- Maxim is committed to the wearables market, and the hSensor Platform is a testament to this commitment. As we continue to develop solutions for new applications, we will expand the platform to support specific use cases, says Andrew Baker, Executive Director for Industrial and Healthcare Products at Maxim Integrated.
- With Maxim's hSensor Platform, we've taken a very complex measurement process and made it simple and streamlined, adds Matt Banet, Chief Scientific Officer at toSense.
- It offers an easy-to-use development kit which we have successfully implemented into our own hardware platform.
The hSensor Platform includes the following products:
MAX30003: Ultra-low power, single-channel integrated biopotential AFE
MAX30101: High-sensitivity pulse oximeter and heart-rate sensor
MAX30205: Industry's only clinical grade temperature sensor
MAX32620: Ultra-low power ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller optimized for wearables
MAX14720: Industry's lowest quiescent current power management integrated circuit (PMIC)
Additional content includes inertial sensors (3-axis accelerometer, 6-axis accelerometer/gyroscope), barometric pressure sensor, flash memory, and BLE radio
to be monitored over Bluetooth low energy, stored in flash, or streamed via USB
