Biosensing
Digital health monitoring helps users sensing biochemical content like sweat, interstitial fluid, blood drops and exhaled air. This is enabled by biosensors, small instruments for rapid and easy measurement of molecules in body fluids or gases. This technique facilitates health diagnostics or monitoring.
The Melexis BioFET (biosensor field-effect transistor) platform enables management of different BioFET sensors. It consists of an integrated biosensor and an interface that optimizes the system performance (sensitivity, limit-of-detection, dynamic range,...) and simplifies the design.
Wireless (NFC)
Near-field communication (NFC) is a low-power wireless communication technology. This technology is not only used for identification and payment purposes, but also for biomedical applications. Biggest advantage is the option for battery-free usage which allows miniaturization.
Temperature
Measuring the human body's temperature is one of the most common first steps in diagnosing a patient's health. Measurement of the body core temperature is typically taken in contact with the skin. Achieving and maintaining an excellent thermal contact to the skin is difficult and may result in unvalid measurements.
An alternative temperature measurement method is through the use of far-infrared radiation detection. This technique is advisable for wearable & medical players who are in need of accurate skin thermometry. The MLX90632 is a contactless temperature sensor that combines three unique features: small size, medical grade accuracy and thermal stability. Our sensor doesn’t require thermal contact with the skin to accurately report temperatures.
