Where: ETZ E 6
Abstract:
Wearable devices are becoming familiar to the public thanks improved performances and accessibility to health-related data. Nevertheless, the integration of sensors into devices is not always easy and it might lead to obtrusive and stigmatizing designs. Leveraging its long experience in materials and development, Dätwyler supports the wearable market in moving towards truly unobtrusive and accepted form factors. Thanks to the SoftPulse™ technology, we can now provide electrodes for bio-signal acquisition specifically designed for earbuds, glasses, wristables and other non-stigmatizing devices. This technology gives designers and device producers full freedom during the development of their product giving at the same time access to best-in-class performances and stability.
