The consumable is the product: electronics design for an FDA-cleared wearable stimulator
On a wearable stimulator the disposable electrode is the product and the electronics are its support system. The pad sets the load the output stage sees, the comfort that decides whether therapy continues, and the recurring revenue. Design the output stage against an aged pad, measure its impedance in the device, and qualify the hydrogel […]
Five vitals on one wrist: the interference problem in multi-parameter wearables
A remote patient monitoring bracelet that measures blood pressure, ECG, oxygenation, pulse, and skin temperature looks on a requirements document like five independent subsystems sharing a battery. In the enclosure it behaves like five subsystems actively degrading each other, and the architecture that survives is the one built around that fact rather than around the […]
Ten boards inside a carry handle: engineering a Class II portable ventilator
