Wearable devices, mobile internet, big data and other technologies are subverting traditional medical models from diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. New mobile medical applications have begun to enter the ordinary life of the people, and their attractive commercial potential has also been Many Internet and semiconductor giants are favored.
According to reliable data, as of the end of 2017, China's mobile medical market will reach 12.53 billion yuan, of which the market size of wearable medical equipment is about 4.77 billion yuan, and the relevant industry's annual growth rate is about 30%. In the future, its growth rate will be Continue to maintain high growth.
Obviously, the domestic market will set off a wave of investment in mobile medical care. In order to let everyone clearly understand how the semiconductor giants at the top of the industry chain are “arranging troops†and seize the mobile medical blue ocean market, the author lists some of the more influential manufacturers in the industry and come together to plan their layout. And the representative products pushed by the owner!
Seize the wearable medical opportunity Freescale pushes open source reference platform
With the expansion of the application of Internet technology, smart medical care will gradually move toward people's side. Wearable medical care is the most potential wearable device application that is favored by the industry. For this market, Freescale offers an ideal combination of MCUs with high processing power and low power consumption, including wired and wireless interfaces such as USB, IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee technology. In addition, Freescale offers a wide range of sensors. Products, including pressure and inertial sensors, can be used to acquire physical parameters as well as user interface designs for proximity sensors' touch screens.
To help technicians shorten design cycles and accelerate the time-to-market for wearables, Freescale has introduced a reference platform for a wide range of functions including fitness, healthcare and infotainment – ​​WaRP. The platform uses a scalable modular hybrid architecture with a motherboard and an example daughter card. The application processor i.MX 6SoloLite on the motherboard serves as the core of the platform. The standby microcontroller Kinetis KL16 MCU on the example daughter card is used as the sensor. Hubs that add more daughter cards for different usage patterns. There is also a wireless charging MCU.
Wearable Reference Platform (WaRP) block diagram
Freescale wearable reference platform WaRP includes the following components:
Freescale's i.MX 6SoloLite ARM Cortex-A9 processor, Freescale Xtrinsic MMA9553 pedometer, FXOS8700 electronic compass, ARM-based second processor, Freescale Kinetis KL16 microcontroller (for sensor data And wireless charging to do control). The product runs on the Android 4.3 operating system.
i.MX 6SoloLite is an efficient and powerful application processor with low power consumption and small size. The processor is based on a single-core ARM A9 with a frequency of up to 1GHz, a 256KB L2 cache, and support for 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2. The i.MX 6SoloLite processor is ideal for next-generation wearable devices by integrating multiple serial interfaces for unused applications, with an EPD controller and LCD controller.
Based on the 32-bit Cortex-M0+, the Kinetis KL16 microcontroller offers twice the CoreMark/mA architecture in an 8/16-bit architecture and supports a variety of flexible low-power modes to reduce overall power consumption. In addition, the Kinetis KL16 MCU also Includes a rich set of analog, communication, timing and control peripherals. The device is available in a variety of package sizes. The Kinetis KL16 MCU also comes with software that supports wireless charging.
The hybrid architecture allows the processor to communicate, and colleagues can also support graphics/display; in deep sleep mode, the MCU also starts monitoring sensor data. This method of happiness reduces overall power consumption and extends battery life.
Sensor technology is an important part of wearable devices. The WaRP includes the Freescale Xtrinsic sensor - the FXOS8700CQ accelerometer and magnetometer and the NMA9553 pedometer.
