Wearable platforms track vital signs

The Max-Health-Band evaluation and development platform is a wrist-worn heart-rate and activity monitor built around the MAX86140 optical pulse-oximeter/heart-rate sensor, the MAX20303 wearable power-management solution, and Maxim’s motion-compensated algorithms. The Max-ECG-Monitor platform integrates the MAX30003 ultra-low-power, clinical-grade analog front end (AFE), which monitors ECG and heart-rate signals. It comes in two form factors – a wet electrode patch for clinical applications and a chest strap for fitness applications.
Many designers struggle to develop good optical heart-rate solutions for health and fitness wearables. This is primarily due to the complexity involved in designing good optical solutions and motion-compensated algorithms, which slows down the design process. Designers must also consider customer expectations such as comfort, longer battery life, and reliable accuracy. These two new platforms solve these challenges.
