Sensor Integration
Virtually everything we design involves sensors to some degree. The trick is to choose the best type of sensors, and then to be creative with the algorithms that make real world judgments from sensor inputs. In a sense, there is little difference between measuring ECG, acceleration, audio in a certain band, air pressure, or distance across a small gap. Odic’s value lies in our ability to measure the world through the innovative combination of electronic transducers and firmware algorithms.
Case study - Physiological status monitor
This small, body worn battery powered device includes an ECG front end that senses heart rate, a proprietary sensor that determines respiration rate, an accelerometer used to measure activity level, orientation, and pace, and a temperature sensor that helps approximate body core temperature. All of this is contained in a very small wear-and-forget package.
