Medical diagnostic equipment and instruments must deliver highly reliable and accurate data about a person's vital signs to provide doctors and medical personnel with the best possible data so they can accurately diagnose health issues.
The greatest challenge lies in handling the low-level vital signs. In addition to ensuring the lowest possible power consumption for battery-powered equipment, manufacturers of medical devices or sensors must guarantee that data gathered is stored and exchanged in a highly secured fashion to meet increasing concerns, and associated regulation, on data privacy that is even more critical for diagnostic information.
ST offers a broad range of products including ultra-low-power STM32 microcontrollers, high-efficiency power and battery management ICs as well as high-performance operational amplifiers and comparators and protection devices together with a range of low-power connectivity ICs including NFC and RFID tags and readers to help engineers design innovative diagnostic solutions.
