Wearable medical devices
The healthcare industry is being transformed by wearable medical devices, with fitness trackers able to detect steps, heart rate, and calories burned. In clinical medicine, wearable devices can collect, analyze, and transmit personal health data, enabling doctors to monitor a patient’s condition in real time. SCHOTT’s wearable housing components can reduce signal noise and improve optical signal transmission, helping wearable devices meet demanding medical requirements. These components also enable high potentials in new features, such as GSR (galvanic skin response), ECG (electrocardiography) and body temperature measurement.
