Healthcare Sensing on Silicon (Download)
Healthcare technology is at the center of both social and technological trends driving the use of wearable sensors that can harness both local and remote intelligence to deliver more effective, personalized treatment. As a result, demands grow louder for sensor quality and embedded processing capability coupled with the need to use integration to minimize size and energy usage.
One of the most significant forces behind this shift is aging. In many countries, the average age of the population is increasing, leading to a rise in chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These illnesses often require continuous monitoring and long-term management.
