Problem
Traditional Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, commonly used in wearables, exhibit limitations in reliability and accuracy, restricting their application in the medical sector. This deficiency hinders the development of advanced personal wellbeing and fitness monitoring solutions that require precise physiological data.
Solution
Carelight has developed patented Opto-Physiological Monitoring (OPM) smart sensors that address the inherent limitations of conventional PPG technology. These OPM sensors utilize a proprietary 3D configuration and AI-powered multi-wavelength illumination to capture high-definition, motion-artifact-free physiological readings. The adaptive nature of the OPM technology optimizes performance across diverse skin tones and body compositions, enabling medical-grade accuracy for a range of vital signs. This innovation facilitates the creation of next-generation wearable devices for both consumer electronics and the medical device market.
Target Audience
Carelight targets medical device companies, consumer electronics manufacturers, and partners in the remote monitoring and clinical trials sectors seeking advanced, reliable wearable sensing technology.
