Wearable Fitness and Medical Devices

Wearable fitness and medical devices are becoming an integral part of personal fitness programs and health care delivery. These devices measure a broad range of vital signs, deliver medication, store/transmit data and sync with smartphones, tablets, PCs and home-health hubs. Wearable devices can include many combinations of sensors, actuators, storage and encryption depending on the needs of the user or patient.

The constant struggle to achieve low-power, low-cost and high-performance designs makes the job of the medical or fitness device designer difficult. Microchip Technology’s products address this challenge with extreme low-power capability, effortless connectivity, intelligent analog integration, higher processing power with reduced code size, solid security/authentication capability and innovative touch and input-sensing solutions. Our broad portfolio of products and solutions give designers what they need to create the next generation of wearable devices, including activity trackers, ambulatory ECG recorders, continuous glucose monitors and others that haven’t even been thought about yet.
