Biosensors: Avoiding errors measuring physiological functions like EKG, heart rate, and temperature
Wearable medical devices are biosensors attached to the human body to detect and monitor changes and capture biological / physiological data. These devices are usually non-invasive devices that function autonomously. Monitoring older adults and subjects with chronic conditions in the home and community are a growing focus of these applications. Read more
LoRaWAN
Cost, power, IP, and latency issues are driving IoT designers away from current standards like Zigbee and toward an emerging set of long-range wireless solutions. LoRa, an abbreviation of “Long Range”, is one such technology that is gaining traction. Learn more about this emerging technology
Motion Control: Accelerometers, Gyroscopes, and Magnetometers
Accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers all can be used to measure motion. These are packaged similarly to other integrated circuits and may provide either analog or digital outputs. They are widely used in smartphones, gaming devices, cameras, and many other applications. Panasonic, Robert Bosch GmbH, InvenSense, Seiko Epson, Sensonor, STMicroelectronics, Freescale Semiconductor, and Analog Devices are major manufacturers. Learn more
