B-Secur launches ECG/EKG device

Author: EIS Release Date: Jul 29, 2021

B-Secur, the Northern Ireland biometric startup, has launched an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) device based on TI’s AFE4950 analogue front end for photoplethysmography (PPG) and ECG/EKG sensing.

 

 

B-Secur says the device will accelerate the design of next-generation consumer wearables.

 

The company claims that the device is the industry’s first product with a fully integrated ECG/EKG and PPG signal chain that allows for synchronous sampling of cardiac activity with dry electrodes used in battery-operated products.

 

 

The integration provides high-performing sensing capabilities for wearable devices like premium smartwatches and Wi-Fi-connected optical heart-rate monitors, and enables advanced features for identification, wellness and health monitoring in IoT devices.
