Recently, Zhejiang Holoway Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Holoway") established a strategic partnership with ADI, combining the advantages of both parties at the hardware, algorithm and system levels to create a highly integrated, low-power medical-grade wearable ECG monitoring solution.
HaoLove's new TE-5200Y-A ECG recorder (ECG strap) is equipped with ADI's ultra-low power bioelectric analog front end, which significantly improves the overall performance and integration of the solution while greatly reducing operating power consumption and extending standby time. In addition, HaoLove and ADI have also had in-depth exchanges at the system design and algorithm levels to optimize hardware and structural design, and combine proprietary platforms and AI algorithms to provide users with all-weather rapid ECG monitoring and evaluation services. This solution has now obtained CFDA registration certification and is used in new mainstream smart wearable watch products on the market.
When used with a Haolowei ECG recorder (ECG strap) with built-in ADI AFE, the watch can display ECG waveform and heart rate values in real time
Wearable device ECG monitoring, real-time protection of heart safety
In recent years, as people pay more and more attention to their personal health and actively respond to the aging population, the demand for outpatient remote monitoring (RPM) services for daily health management of the aging population and chronic disease patients, which has evolved from in-hospital clinical equipment, has become increasingly strong, and the two have a trend of integration. On the other hand, smart health sensors are gaining more and more applications in vital sign signal monitoring, which has brought new driving forces to the development of smart wearable devices, and their functions are gradually extending to the medical field. ECG monitoring is one of the key research and development directions of wearable device manufacturers.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) system is a typical application of the human body potential and impedance measurement method. It reflects and records the working state of the heart by measuring the differential voltage between two electrodes connected to the human body or the differential voltage between a certain electrode and the average voltage of multiple electrodes. Although the principle of the human body potential and impedance measurement method does not seem complicated, there are still many difficulties in doing it well. For example, the signal "captured" from the human body surface is usually very weak, and the human body is very complex and there is a lot of noise around it. This requires "careful" conditioning of the analog signal input from the sensor, extracting useful information from it and converting it into a digital signal, which is then handed over to the processor for interpretation. This process requires a complete set of analog front-end (AFE) systems to complete.
As the birthplace of data, ADI has a wide variety of health monitoring sensors with excellent performance. From motion capture to heart rate monitoring, and from body fat detection to emotion analysis, ADI has a full range of hardware solutions. Especially for ECG systems, ADI has rich experience in single-lead and multi-lead analog front-end design for in-hospital use. In order to meet the ECG signal conditioning requirements of emerging portable/wearable monitoring equipment and remote health monitoring equipment, ADI fully optimizes the power consumption and size of ECG AFE while ensuring product accuracy, providing flexibility for system designers and bringing the value and performance of medical monitoring to a new level.
Innovative service model, "remote clinical" decoding of ECG information
For wearable medical testing products, if the measurement data is to be recognized by doctors and provide a reference for medical staff's diagnosis, it must pass medical laws and regulations. Haolowei's ECG recorder (ECG strap) relies on cloud AI ECG algorithms, has technical advantages such as high-concurrency distributed processing, multi-dimensional result output, and multi-disease fusion diagnosis, supports more sophisticated feature measurement and more accurate automatic diagnosis, and has obtained a registration certificate after the strict CFDA testing and certification of the Zhejiang Food and Drug Administration. It is suitable for a wide range of application scenarios such as clinical diagnosis and health management in hospitals, and wearable ECG monitoring at home.
In addition, Haoloway has also established a "telemedicine application demonstration base" and an international telemedicine collaborative platform with the National Telemedicine and Internet Medicine Center to provide consumers with better health consultation and health management services. The ECG data measured by the device will not only use Haoloway's AI ECG algorithm to perform medical-grade analysis and diagnosis on the data, but will also be uploaded to the National Telemedicine and Internet Medicine Center. Hospitals that have signed contracts with the Haoloway platform will provide experts and doctors of different levels to professionally interpret the ECG report and provide feedback on the diagnosis report within 15 minutes.
Continue to deepen cooperation and embrace the future of digital healthcare
As one of ADI's long-term strategic focuses, the healthcare market has always been a focus of investment. From the original professional medical field, it has gradually expanded to include mobile health applications, from the traditional professional medical field to the consumer field, and combined with the current Internet medical care and big data computing. As a national high-tech enterprise dedicated to the trinity of "smart medical equipment + health cloud platform + professional medical services", Holoway is a well-known enterprise in the Internet of Things for smart medical and health management. In the future, ADI and Holoway will continue to carry out in-depth cooperation on system-level solutions with high-performance products and advanced algorithms as the core, jointly promote smart wearable devices to move towards a higher level of precision medicine, and welcome the arrival of the digital medical era.
