SCA10H Browse Inventory

With ballistocardiology, an extremely sensitive MEMS sensor is used to detect the recoil effect of the heart pumping blood around the body. The MEMS sensor captures this signal which is then passed to a microcontroller. This allows the microcontroller to extract heart rate and other vital signs information from the signal. The SCA10H is a PCB module comprising the sensor and microcontroller that is designed for medical manufacturers to incorporate into their own products and a hospital bed. 

Features

  • Contactless measurement enables continuous monitoring without disturbing the patient.
  • Ultra low noise and narrow noise bandwidth SCA61T 3D MEMS accelerometer
         and analog signal conditioning.
  • Embedded heart and respiration rate signal processing with 1 Hz output rate.
  • Low power and only tens of bytes per second communication bandwidth requirement. 
  • Easy to use (UART-interface & Solderable PCB-module)

Applications

  • Hospitals, elderly care, assisted living
  • Heart and respiration rate detection
  • Cardiac output estimation
  • Bed occupancy
  • Stress and relaxation index
  • Sleep quality monitoring
