Today is Friday again,
how do you feel?



I'm just reminding you,

I have to go to work tomorrow, Saturday.



Brother

Cheer up, it’s our fault for going through a crazy golden week!


Actually, I was also very tired when I wrote this tweet. Although I had a week off, I didn’t feel relaxed at all. I habitually stayed up late, overeat to relieve stress, sat still for a long time, and didn’t exercise for a long time. I felt that my heart was under great bad habits .


Let's talk about health

I read in the news not long ago that people in the workplace, including those born in the 1990s, are under so much pressure that they dare not look at their medical examination reports. The 2019 Workplace Health Report shows that among more than 6,000 workers surveyed, only 23.3% believe that they are currently in good health.

I talked about this topic with my colleague yesterday, and he suggested that we promote scientific health management on the Cypress official Weibo account to send a little love to our fans.


Here's the thing: Cypress chips are widely used in wearable devices and portable medical devices to protect people's health. Through wearable devices, personal health data such as heart rate, breathing, sleep, exercise, etc. can be monitored and recorded around the clock, and can also be transmitted to the data platform for further analysis. Based on long-term accumulated personal data, wearable devices can issue warnings when data is abnormal.


Computing and Connectivity for Wearable Devices



Wearable devices mainly include smart bracelets, smart watches, etc. They have two important requirements: one is that the chip size is small and the processing power is strong; the other is long battery life.


Cypress PSoC 6® BLE MCU is widely used in wearable devices. It is a dual-core microcontroller with two cores, Arm® Cortex®-M4 and Cortex-M0+. It adopts 40nm process and low-power design, and has built-in low-power Bluetooth (BLE) wireless connection to achieve stronger processing power and longer battery life. BLE connection allows user data to be seamlessly synchronized to device applications and the cloud, and supports OTA firmware updates.



Data storage for portable medical devices



Portable medical devices are more specialized and larger than wearable devices, including blood glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, and blood oximeters. There are now more and more portable medical devices, and their monitoring has become more accurate, reliable, and safer, making it easier for consumers to control their health in a personalized way and reduce unnecessary medical consultations. At the same time, as the system complexity of these devices continues to increase, the internal on-chip memory capacity is no longer sufficient, and external memory needs to be added.

Cypress Excelon LP Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (F-RAM) is an ideal solution for portable medical devices.


It has three major advantages:

1

High write durability

Excelon LP ferroelectric random access memory provides 8Mb commercial-grade storage capacity, 100 trillion read/write cycles, supports data writing every millisecond, and has a service life of more than 3,000 years, eliminating the risk of data loss caused by power failure. Such durability allows medical devices to record more data, and there is no need to over-configure memory during system design, and there is no need to use complex wear-leveling algorithms.

2

Very low power consumption

The power consumption of Excelon LP ferroelectric random access memory is only 1/200 of that of EEPROM and 1/3000 of that of NOR flash memory. The extremely low power consumption allows medical equipment to extend its operating time when power is limited.

Available in low pin count, small footprint packages

It is the best choice for portable applications with limited space.


In summary, the Cypress PSoC 6 BLE microcontroller (MCU) combined with Excelon LP ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) achieves three key performances for wearable devices and portable medical devices: maximizing battery life, giving the device a longer battery life ; ensuring continuous data writing during device use to ensure stable data recording ; and making the device smaller and lighter for easy carrying .


By the way, remember the issue of personal data privacy we discussed before the National Day holiday? The PSoC 64 Secure MCU mentioned in the article " Things to note when posting to Moments during the holidays " allows wearable device manufacturers and portable medical device manufacturers to develop secure solutions to prevent your health data from being leaked. When you use or purchase these devices , ask them if they use Cypress's security solutions.


Finally, I have a question for you. After reading this article, do you have a deeper understanding of personal health and scientific health management ? There are many technologies and products on the market, represented by Cypress, that can scientifically manage your health. I wish you good health, smooth work, and a happy life.
