  Tactile Sensing in Health Watch for Elderly

With the recent joint efforts by PPS and JXJ Technologies of China, a new health watch embedded with PPS pulse sensors was developed . The jWatch assists in daily health care management for the growing elderly population and cardiovascular patients. The jWotch uses the PPS PulseTact sensors to provide real-time data which is automatically uploaded to a healthcare network for monitoring and analysis.

Most health or pulse monitoring watches are not sensitive enough to detect the pulse at the wrist and require a cumbersome secondary device mounted to a chest strap to take a pulse reading. PPS' highly sensitive tactile sensors makes it possible to capture pulse waveforms from just the wrist area alone.

PPS's pulse waveform solution uses our DigiTacts technology, which means it features digital output in an embeddable design suitable for mass production. PPS can custom develop pulse sensing for your application with a variety of sensor layouts and probe designs, and you can use our API to integrate pulse measurement into your system for product development.
