There was a view in the industry that just as smartphones destroyed flip phones, tablets destroyed traditional personal computers, the rise of wearable smart devices will destroy smartphones and computers. We do n’t dare to make rash statements about this, but wearable smart devices are indeed leading the next technological revolution.
Wearable smart devices are booming through the east wind of the mobile Internet. Google Glass and Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watches are the most widely discussed examples of wearable devices. There are also Pebble smart watches launched by Pebble technology, SmartWatch launched by Sony, Qualcomm. Toq smart watches will also be released in the fourth quarter of 2013. Apple is not to be missed. Although the long-rumored smart watch iWatch has not yet come out, Apple is leveraging the new version of the iPhone 5s equipped with M7 motion sensor chips. New heights.
Wearable intelligent medical monitoring equipment can monitor patients in real time, and the feedback data helps to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. This health monitoring model outside the hospital and far away from the doctor's office has a higher cost performance. With China's increased investment in health care, the use of today's advanced technology, workflow and preventive health care model will obtain many advantages such as high cost performance.
Steve LaJeunesse, market application manager of Medical Devices, said that the integration of ultra-low power analog measurement circuits, complex signal processing technology, ultra-low power microcontrollers and other technologies is the development trend of wearable smart devices.

American letter actively layout to expand emerging markets
The original intention of wearable devices is to explore a new way of interaction between people and technology. In the field of personal health and medical management, the application of wearable devices has taken the lead. Such devices are currently concentrated in the consumer-oriented sports, fitness and health care market, tracking personal health and sports and providing data analysis and sharing. These devices can provide detailed information on tracking, monitoring and health care. Among them, health monitoring is a key direction. According to ABI Research market research data, the wearable monitoring equipment market will reach an average of more than 100 million sets by 2016.
In response to this huge emerging market, as early as September 2012, Meixin launched a new type of sign monitoring suit (Fit) that can be repeatedly washed, allowing professional medical staff to frequently monitor the patient's physical condition at low cost, providing more effective preventive medical treatment. health care. The highly integrated monitoring suit design can be used to measure three-lead ECG, body temperature and exercise status. In the future, more leads (5 to 12) ECG can be measured. All diagnostic tools have been integrated into the shirt and will not affect wearing comfort. The new "Fit" integrates dry electrode ECG measurement technology, complex signal processing technology, temperature sensor, motion sensor, ultra-low power microcontroller and wireless communication unit. Moreover, Meixin has developed three different application versions for individuals, hospitals, and nursing homes, and will later develop an evaluation kit that users can use to evaluate their own designs. This monitoring suit has opened a new era of preventive health care, reducing health care costs by more than 10 times.
The solution has four contacts built into the sleeves and abdomen of the clothes, which are connected to the sensor by wire, and then the sensor transmits the data to the mobile terminal via Bluetooth, which can detect the basic sign parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, etc. , Real-time medical diagnosis data.
There are 8 chips in the solution, including Meixin ’s four chips, which are MCU, PMU, temperature sensor and USB protector. In view of the low power consumption requirements of wearable devices, Meixin has adopted ultra-low power in this design The power consumption MAXQ622 and MAX6656 are also equipped with the power management IC MAX8671. In the future, Meixin plans to further integrate, so that the solution contains only four devices, the product will be smaller, the standby time will be longer, and the price will be cheaper.
The design includes:
. The ultra-low power 16-bit microcontroller MAXQ622 can easily connect multiple devices and is easy to program.
The MAX8671 power management IC provides a low-noise power supply, which can effectively switch between multiple sensors, and has a built-in USB charger and PMIC protection circuit.
.MAX6656 ultra-low power temperature sensor and voltage monitor support plug-and-play system integration.
.MAX3204 USB protector provides safety protection and protects electronic circuits from vibration and ESD damage.
Huge demand for health monitoring promotes the development of wearable devices
With the increase of the aging population and the implementation of the government ’s policy of increasing medical insurance coverage, it is expected that by 2020, the ratio of China ’s healthcare expenditure to GDP will increase from the current 4.6% to 7%, and China will become the world ’s No. The second largest market. The huge market demand for health monitoring is vigorously promoting the rapid development of wearable intelligent medical monitoring devices. At present, health monitoring and fitness applications have become "killer" applications in wearable computing technology.
Wearable intelligent medical monitoring equipment is widely used, personal health management, remote patient monitoring, on-site professional medical care, etc., with promising prospects. The huge market has enabled many companies to see opportunities for the combination of mobile information technology and medical technology. Now many startups and companies in the professional field are also developing wearable devices that provide network medical application services. GE and Philips are all involved. Manufacturers integrate many technologies such as sensors, computing, communications, and power management into electronic circuits, and integrate low-power products and wireless connection technologies into the products, which has greatly promoted the tremendous change of wearable devices.
At this stage, although there are still many problems with wearable smart devices, with the breakthrough of technology, the reduction of costs, and the perfect application of cloud computing and big data, the popularity of wearable smart devices is gradually approaching.
