Empatica’s Embrace smart watch uses Adesto’s DataFlash memory for highly efficient data-logging and resource offloading
March 08 2018 - 9:00AM
Adesto Technologies (NASDAQ:IOTS), a leading provider of
application-specific, ultra-low-power non-volatile memory (NVM)
products, announced that Empatica Inc. uses its DataFlash memory to
provide efficient data-logging and resource off-loading in its
award-winning Embrace smart watch. Embrace uses advanced machine
learning to monitor and manage epilepsy, and it recently received
first of a kind FDA approval for this type of wearable medical
device.
“Embrace represents a new paradigm in medical monitoring
devices, adding the element of beautiful design to cutting-edge
technology, and resulting in a highly effective smart watch that
users really enjoy wearing,” said Ivan Cenci, head of production,
Empatica. “We selected Adesto’s DataFlash memory because it is
uniquely tailored to our application in terms of features, power
consumption, package size, quality and reliability.”
The Embrace device provides critical first responder alerts in
the event of a seizure, and also continuously monitors and logs a
patient’s biometrics for analysis and improved epilepsy management.
The granular page erase / page write capability in DataFlash allows
Embrace to frequently write small amounts of data to its log. Wide
VCC and ultra-deep low-power modes mean DataFlash is able to do
this with extremely low power consumption to maximize the watch’s
battery life. In addition, the miniaturized package and mechanical
profile of DataFlash are optimized for wearable devices, and its
high quality and reliability make it a great fit for critical
applications such as medical monitoring.
Embrace also makes use of DataFlash’s high-performance
architecture and dual SRAM buffers to enhance system performance.
Within the system, one of the DataFlash SRAM buffers is used to
provide additional serial SRAM, off-loading resources and freeing
up more space for critical software stack memory within the MCU’s
embedded SRAM.
“For products like smart watches and other battery operated IoT
devices, memory technology is no longer all about cost. Product
developers need to consider how a memory device can impact their
system performance and overall product design,” said Paul Hill,
Adesto’s senior product marketing director. “Adesto’s
application-specific products really make a difference in our
customers’ designs, and it’s gratifying to be able to bring these
unique capabilities to bear in a product like Embrace, which is
designed to improve peoples’ lives.”
