Delivers all of the Wellness/Fitness
Sensor-related Context and Analytics Required from Today’s Smart
Watch or Activity Products
InvenSense Inc., (NYSE: INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor
platform solutions, announced the InvenSense ICM-30631 wearable
Sensor System on Chip (SoC) platform that delivers a total solution
of sensor software-related features required for a
wellness/fitness-centric smart watch or activity tracker. The
ICM-30631 SoC includes InvenSense’s 6-axis integrated MEMS (3-axis
accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope) motion sensors, Embedded Cortex
class processor, and InvenSense’s Digital Motion Processor (DMP)
blocks for efficient lower power sensor processing in a small 3mm x
3mm 24-QFN package. The complete wearable platform delivers
activity recognition (walk, run, bike, still, in-car),
Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor-related measurements (motion
artifact correction and R-R interval for Heart Rate Variation),
sleep quality analysis, calorie counter, speed/distance, and floors
climbed, along with valuable wrist worn gestures like bring-to-see
and shake. The InvenSense wearable platform is intended to provide
all the essential wrist-worn wearable features related to context,
vital sign monitoring and inertial sensor-related analytics. The
wearable platform assists an OEM’s speed to market, utilizes less
of its constrained resources and allows the OEM to focus on
supplementary differentiating features on-top of those offered by
the ICM-30631.
Today, the wrist-worn wearables market requires OEMs to deliver
wellness and fitness-related services, a key reason the market
traction for these devices is increasing exponentially.
Accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, PPG, and pressure sensor
processing are essential for smart watches and activity trackers to
enable these services, yet OEMs need a deep technical understanding
to yield the valuable contextual and analytical data from the
complex sensor outputs. InvenSense has overcome this challenge by
interfacing its FireFly™ SoC with leading market sensors in the
areas of wellness/fitness and derived the algorithms needed to
deliver activity/context, accurate heart rate, sleep metrics,
number of floors climbed, and speed/distance of walking and
running. For additional speed/distance (and route) accuracy, for
GPS-enabled wrist-worn devices that track the users’ walk/run/hike
analytics, InvenSense recently launched Coursa Sports, a
cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) fitness tracking sensor
platform solution that delivers the same accuracy as GPS at a
fraction of the power due to its GPS duty cycling and inertial dead
reckoning algorithms.
“Delivering all the core sensor analytics and context in a small
3x3mm SoC is an innovation that will enable our wearable customers
to focus on additional software and hardware-related features that
can really differentiate them from their competitors,” said Eitan
Medina, vice president of marketing and product management at
InvenSense. “Activity recognition and in-activity heart rate
monitoring, in addition to analytics related to sleep, floor count,
and speed/distance are the basic building blocks of any wrist worn
wellness/fitness device. These require a great deal of engineering
know-how to deliver accurately. InvenSense’s new ICM-30631 wearable
FireFly SoC platform can do this efficiently, accurately, and at
low power.”
InvenSense’s ICM-30631 complete wearable platform is sampling
today and will be in mass production in Q2 of 2016. InvenSense is
exhibiting in booth #36217 in South Hall 4 at the 2016
Consumer Electronics Show taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada from
January 6 - 9, 2016. To schedule press and partner meetings at the
show, contact pr@invensense.com. For additional information
