Vital sign monitoring has extended beyond the boundaries of medical practice and into many areas of our everyday lives.
Originally, vital sign monitoring took place in hospitals and clinics under strict medical supervision. Advances in microelectronics have led to cost reduction in monitoring systems, making these technologies more accessible and common in areas such as telemedicine, sports, fitness and wellness, and workplace safety, as well as the automotive market, which is becoming increasingly focused on autonomous driving. Despite this expansion and given the health-related nature of these applications, quality standards remain high.
With advances in technology, vital sign monitoring will become increasingly common in various industries and throughout our daily lives. Whether used for treatment or prevention, such health-related solutions call for reliable and robust technology. In the vast portfolio of Analog Devices’ products dedicated to signal processing, designers of vital sign monitoring systems will find a whole range of solutions to the design challenges they face.
