Wearable Electrocardiogram Reference Design

The Wearable ECG reference design measures heart rate data and movement and enables IoT connectivity for health management.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) heart data, which provides a detailed look at heart function beyond simple beats per minute (BPM), is increasingly utilized in fitness applications and medical device technology. With the growing significance of medical remote patient monitoring, the integration of wearable ECG features has become essential. Our Connected, Wearable ECG Demonstration Board is designed to facilitate the development of sophisticated fitness trackers and can also be incorporated into medical wearable systems for remote monitoring and diagnostics. The Wearable ECG reference design from Microchip measures complex heart rate data and computes other cardiac-related metrics. Additionally, it tracks patient movement using an onboard accelerometer.
