Maxim Integrated Products has been at the forefront of medical sensing with development kits like the Health Sensor Platform (HSP). The HSP is a modular smartwatch form factor that can monitor a user’s electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, and body temperature.

Its latest products, aimed at the wireless earbud market and similar application areas, are the MAX86161 in-ear heart-rate monitor and its MAX30208 digital temperature sensor. They’re designed to deliver clinical-grade medical results while shrinking size and power requirements that are key to delivering compact mobile devices.
