Wearable Device Sensors

Join us to learn about wearable sensors and their impact on IoT from Walt Maclay, President and Chief Engineer of Voler Systems.

Wearable fitness devices are influencing today’s medical devices that target clinical and everyday applications. Some of the innovation involves new modalities of measurement: for example an iPhone that analyzes your eyeball to determine blood pressure. But fundamentally the challenge has shifted from determining how to enable a compact wearable device with support adequate battery life and wireless data communication. There are also challenges in making measurements on conveniently worn devices. For example, it is very hard to measure ECG and breathing on a wrist worn device.
