SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Design preventive
healthcare and continuous monitoring solutions for wearable health
and fitness applications with the MAX86140 and
MAX86141 optical pulse oximeter/heart rate sensors and the
MAX30001 electrocardiogram (ECG) and bioimpedance (BioZ)
analog front end (AFE) from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MXIM). Through compact, low power solutions, these devices
enable accurate monitoring of vital signs to monitor
wellness/fitness and prevent health problems before they even
begin.

Today's continuous monitoring technology is shifting the
consumer mindset away from a reactive monitoring approach to a
proactive one. Rather than waiting for yearly doctor visits to get
results for blood pressure and other vital signs, consumers want
real-time information about the status of their health. This shift
is causing an increased demand for accurate, small, and low-power
wearable devices—an important enabler for this new way of thinking.
As continuous monitoring and preventive healthcare become more
common, both technology providers and health practitioners must
embrace and accommodate these new demands to be successful.
Maxim's portfolio of sensors for wearable health and fitness
applications allows consumers to accurately monitor a variety of
key vital signs while being mindful of low power (for longer
battery life) and small size (for convenience and comfort). The
MAX86140 and MAX86141 can be used to measure PPG signals on the
wrist, finger, and ear to detect heart rate, heart rate
variability, and pulse oximetry. The MAX30001 measures ECG and BioZ
on the chest and wrist to detect heart rate, respiration, and
arrhythmias. Compared to competitive solutions, the MAX86140 and
MAX86141 require less than half the power and is approximately one
third smaller, while the MAX30001 requires approximately half the
power in almost half the size. By collecting beat to beat data
about the heart, these solutions collect accurate data so users can
recognize important symptoms when they first begin. In addition,
the MAX30001 meets IEC60601-2-47, clinical ECG standards.
Commentary
- "The convergence of clinical grade diagnostics in form factors
small enough to integrate into all sorts of smart, everyday
clothing is impressive," said Adrian
Straka, Director of Hardware and Manufacturing, SKIIN. "The
ultra-small MAX30001 enables SKIIN's bio-sensing underwear to
monitor and track health metrics 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in
low power operation."
- "With unmatched power, as well as ultra-small form factor and
high accuracy, our robust portfolio of sensor solutions will enable
our customers to succeed in this market," said Andrew Baker, Executive Director of Industrial
& Healthcare at Maxim Integrated.
