Wearable Devices

Various devices to monitor different activities and information; inability to multitask when your hands are busy holding your phone while talking. Sounds familiar? Wearables left these problems behind bringing a number of considerable health benefits instead. Wearables are devices that can be comfortably worn on a body and that are used for multiple purposes depending on the application. Moreover, wearable devices can monitor the health and track your daily activities.

The design of a wearable and healthtech device must have the right form factor, and be portable and easy to use. Additional critical design factors that must be considered include measurement accuracy, operation longevity, and stability. Since wearable and healthtech devices record the user’s movements through various environments, components must both remain stable in various temperatures and support pressure sensing with high-accuracy motion detection. Ultimately, for a wearable and healthtech device to be successful, it must be secure, effective, and efficient without compromising measurement accuracy under a range of conditions or ergonomics. All these needs can be met by the product portfolio and application solution from Infineon.

With the help of small Infineon sensors that require low energy consumption, the wearable technology has a considerable influence on the fields of education and gaming, as well as on wellness, fitness, and health by providing the highest quality sports, health and activity monitoring. Infineon’s RF portfolio enables seamless connectivity and location tracking user experiences to be closer to their family and friends. Wireless charging removes the hassle of refuelling your devices. While the privacy and security of user data collected by a wearable is a valid concern, a smart device fitted with hardware-based security solutions from Infineon can protect user data. Moreover, Infineon 60 GHz radar contributes to future health monitoring use-cases such as blood-pressure monitoring and vital sensing.
