ams OSRAM and Movano Health join hands to create accurate lifestyle monitoring solutions for women

Shanghai, China, January 16, 2024 - ams-OSRAM, the world's leading optical solutions provider, today announced that ams-OSRAM, a leader in biomonitoring technology, and Movano Health, a pioneer in health technology, have joined forces to jointly integrate ams-OSRAM. Osram's PPG sensor solution is integrated into the Evie Ring, a smart ring designed specifically for women by Movano Health.

To bring high-quality data to the forefront of consumer health devices, Movano Health launches the wearable device Evie Ring. Designed specifically for women, this personalized solution not only provides medical-grade measurement of key vital signs data, but also provides users with a comprehensive understanding of their health based on their individual needs. Evie Ring won the 2024 CES Innovation Award in the Wearable Devices Category.

ams-OSRAM's comprehensive PPG sensor solution includes optical front-end (OFE) SFH 7014C emitter and SFH 2705 detector technology, paired with the company's analog front-end (AFE) AS7057. The total radiation intensity of the emitter is more than 40% higher than that of the previous generation product, and the chip surface area of ​​the photodetector is significantly larger than that of competing products. This solution significantly improves the sensitivity and accuracy of readings, and effectively solves a common problem faced by all biological monitoring equipment: the effective signal after LED emitted light is scattered and absorbed by human tissue will be relatively weak. How to accurately detect the tinyness of these weak light signals? changes, which will directly affect system performance. This solution coincides with Evie's goal of creating a device tailor-made for women's fingers.

Michael Leabman, founder and chief technology officer of Movano Health , said: "The Evie Ring was designed by world-class engineers and specifically tailored for women with slender fingers and low blood perfusion. When collecting finger data, in order to achieve excellence experience, we need state-of-the-art solutions in both optical and analog signal processing. ams-OSRAM’s solutions enable us to fully meet the unique needs of consumers. Ensuring accurate signals means reliable results and actionable insights.”

Dr. Markus Arzberger, senior director of ams Osram CSA IOS Automotive & Vital Signs (CSA IOS AVS), said: “We have high-precision optical sensors and advanced analog front-end capabilities to create a miniaturized, high-precision PPG (photoplethysmography) System. Relying on carefully designed technology, we are able to provide a complete PPG sensor solution for the field of precision medical monitoring, which includes the industry’s smallest analog front-end sensor AS7057 and the market-leading compact multi-emitter SFH 7014C and SFH 2705. Movano Heath is the ideal partner to revolutionize health monitoring technology in wearable devices because of its excellent product design and attractive solutions specifically designed for women."

Movano Health successfully launched the Evie Ring on November 20, 2023, which won the CES Innovation Award in the Wearable Devices category and was exhibited at the CES 2024 exhibition.
