HMicro and STMicroelectronics Announce Wearable Wireless Biosensor Platform that Frees Patients from Cables

The advancement of technology has penetrated Healthcare Industry to improve health care efficiency in terms of quality, safety and economy. Application of RF technology in medical care improvises the patient’s treatment and doctor’s access to patient’s vital data anywhere, anytime in an efficient manner. Thus, technology helps in transforming the way nursing care is approached. Technology is much required to monitor patients wirelessly to simplify the care. Technology has in turn reduced the risk of failure like medication errors, miscommunications, delays in treatment and attendance to emergencies as it alerts in advance the patient’s status. Let us now compare and analyze the recent and most advanced methods involved in one of the health care areas such as ECG. Now, a lab technician ensures that electrodes are stick properly to the patient’s skin and are wired to the ECG machine where the patient does not have the freedom to move and walk around. The advanced technology enables testing the ECG parameters of the patients by using wireless ECG sensor which monitors the patients activity where the patient can move around freely. A wireless medical device jointly developed by HMicro and STMicroelectronics replaces wired sensors with wireless sensors for detecting various health parameters from patients. The semiconductor device called smart patch are basically disposa...
