PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Q4 2017 For Editors Heart Rate Sensors - Keep your finger on the pulse!
Willow Technologies Ltd. www.willow.co.uk unveil the new Heart Rate Optical Sensor from Rohm - the BH1790GLC. Utilising a specialised optical filter enables high accuracy detection, extending battery life while reducing the effects of IR rays ten fold versus conventional products. Making it possible to achieve high quality pulse signals even in environments with strong IR presence, such as the outdoors or under intense movement. Bhupinder Randhawa, Senior Sales Engineer at Willow commented, Rohms optimisation of this device reduces the power consumption by an enormous 74%, making the battery for the wearable device much longer lasting. The Heart Rate Optical Sensor is just 2.8 x 2.8 x 0.9mm and capable of detecting high quality pulse signals, using low VF, low brightness LED elements. This eliminates the requirement for DC/DC circuits for LED power supply, which are conventionally necessary. The result of which is a 30% smaller mounting area, lightening the development load. By leveraging proprietary analogue circuit technology and their optical sensor expertise, Rohm has improved the sensors sensitivity, which allows pulse wave detection with very high accuracy, even with low LED brightness. The data from the new BH1790GLC can be collected and the sensor information processed using an optical heart rate monitor expansion board that Willow can also highly recommend Concluded Randhawa.
