COMPACT NON INVASIVE SENSOR CHIP DEVELOPED TO RECORD MULTIPLE HEART AND LUNG SIGNALS

COMPACT NON-INVASIVE SENSOR CHIP DEVELOPED TO RECORD MULTIPLE HEART AND LUNG SIGNALS

A team of researchers at the ‘Georgia Institute of Technology’ has come up with a non-invasive sensor-in-a-chip that records details of the heartbeat, respiration rates, and lung sounds. It even tracks the wearer’s physical activities, such as walking. The signals are recorded in sync, potentially giving healthcare workers a detailed overview of a patient’s heart and lungs.

A data acquisition system on a chip

A data-acquisition system on a chip

Multifunction data-acquisition systems have been around for a long time as stand-alone instruments, plug-in cards, cabled computer peripherals, and embedded in systems. Such systems are often designed with separate ADCs, DACs, and digital I/O devices. Many microcontrollers include ADCs and DACs, but that locks you into using that device. The AD5592R from Analog Devices combines
