How Embedded Sensors Revolutionize Heart Rate Monitoring
By Embedded Advisor | Thursday, November 12, 2020
Realizing the potential of embedded sensors, medical technologists are exploring new ways to monitor patients' heart rate.
FREMONT, CA: Today, embedded systems have become a core element for the industries like the medical and healthcare sectors. In recent years, the advancement in medical technology is primarily influenced by embedded systems, which include devices like embedded sensors to monitor an individual’s heart rate.
The embedded medical devices are designed to instantly fetch information about the condition of the patient's heart through integrated clinical-grade ECG, heart rate, and body temperature measurements. These sensors prove to be non-invasive and hold advanced processors that can load embedded firmware and algorithms at high speed. Integrated sensors provide medical technologists with the ability to combine multi-sensor input and artificial intelligence. The innovative technique of combining technologies can automatically collect data, run analyses, and deliver the results to medical professionals in graphical format.
Embedded medical devices like digital temperature can deliver clinical-grade temperature measurement accuracy with the fast response time. The medical application developers focus on improving both the sensitivity and accuracy of medical devices with the highest Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) with an embedded processor. Medical technologists create next-generation fitness applications with the help of embedded systems. The ultra small-sized integrated embedded processors can provide precise temperature measurement, enabling fullest efficiency. Embedded wearables and fitness monitors offer high accuracy in measuring human biometrics like body temperature, blood pressure, sugar level, and heart rate.
The rapid adoption of wearable devices across the globe lets medical technologists collaborate with wearable developers and integrate healthcare applications. In the present market, there are various wearables with integrated features like counting steps, measuring pulses, displaying medical alerts, and more. Embedded technology in the medical sector gives privilege to medical care providers to bring revolutionary impacts on their existing capabilities and develop high-tech treatment solutions. The embedded medical devices have increased the competition level at the global level and promise to transform the sector completely in the immediate future.
