TechDay: Medical Grade Wearables – Game Changers in Healthcare

Healthcare spending is rising rapidly. To be able to manage cost, the medical industry needs to change from a re-active to a pro-active care system. One of the potential tools is digital health, where chronic diseases/illnesses are identified in an early stage and where effective therapy can be provided in a timely manner. This requires new technologies that are affordable and can be used remotely. Analog Devices is a leader in sensor and sensor sub-system for the healthcare industry. During this talk you will learn more about Analog Devices and how we impact the industry.

The world of diagnostic testing and chronic disease management is undergoing rapid changes. High-precision wearable and connected health sensors start rivaling expensive bed-side devices in terms of quality and diagnostic insight. In the past few years imec has developed a number of such connected health sensors and we are continuing to do so. The development of these connected health sensor platforms is strongly application driven and requires innovative technology development to ensure reliable, medically relevant operation in realistic use cases. One of the driving factors behind this innovation is novel circuits enabling multi-modal high-precision data collection and analysis at ultra-low power consumption. This talk will discuss the ASIC and SoC platforms imec is currently working on for various diagnostic and chronic disease management applications both in the wearable and connected space as well as in the implantable space.
