Wearable platform shortens development time
The wearable platform integrates all of the key functions of a health and fitness wearable device including motion sensors, pressure sensor, microcontroller and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) with a battery life of up to a week. The platform incorporates the InvenSense embedded Automatic Activity Recognition (AAR) software library, which manages both the key software and hardware components allowing for ‘AlwaysOn’ activity recognition.
Along with software libraries, the InvenSense wearable platform solution includes the Gerber files, BOM, layout, circuit schematics, and XY coordinates that allow the customer to bring its own solution to commercial production. All essential software elements required for a commercial product release are provided and the design allows up to 7 days of battery life (70mAH battery) with the 24/7 activity recognition.
“In the era of health and fitness wearables, InvenSense is enabling a fast growing ecosystem of developers, operators, brands, big data services, healthcare providers, sports retailers, and fashion designers by providing a commercial grade platform that substantially reduces time to market,” said Ali Foughi, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at InvenSense. “InvenSense’s new ‘AlwaysOn’ wearable turnkey platform with activity recognition is enabling a new wave of intelligent health and fitness devices such as smart watches, fitness bands, fashion accessories, and health applications.”
Two weeks ago the company settled its dispute with ST Microelectronics over MEMs sensor technology patents.
