I’m working on developing a wrist-worn smartwatch for kids. The device needs to monitor vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and potentially distress-related changes like arrhythmias or hypoxia.
-
Which sensor is better for smartwatch? Would the MAX86150 with its multi-modal capabilities (PPG, ECG, and BIA) be more effective in providing a comprehensive picture, or would the MAX30003's dedicated ECG offer more accurate heart rate data for detecting distress?
-
Would the ECG from MAX86150 be sufficient for detecting distress in scenarios, or would the MAX30003 provide more reliable ECG data?
-
What other sensors or considerations should I take into account to improve the detection accuracy, such as motion sensors (e.g., accelerometers) or water detection?
I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions based on your experience with similar wearable health monitoring or safety devices. Thank you!
