module uses light emitting diodes
(LEDs) in conjunction with a light
sensitive sensor to measure the
absorption of red and infrared light
by the user’s fingertips. By touching
a device’s sensors and electrodes
with your fingertips, MediaTek Sensio
creates a closed loop between your
heart and the biosensor to measure
ECG and PPG waveforms. The product
is the first 6-in-1 total hardware and
software solution, consisting of optical,
electrical and processing components
which delivers a package of smart
health solutions that will help its users
to be more informed about their fitness
levels. MediaTek Sensio entered the
