While connectivity is a key, if not the key, ingredient in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, sensors run a close second. After all, most industrial IoT projects are centered on ...

GE HealthCare is recalling 7559 TruSignal arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) sensors because of problems that may reduce defibrillation energy, expose patients to unintended voltage, or give inaccurate ...

As medical centers worldwide adapt to increasing patient-monitoring needs, reliable oxygen-saturation measurement has emerged as a priority. Many hospitals are expanding monitoring capacity, and ...

Standard industrial sensors detect specific physical properties like temperature, pressure, and presence/absence. They also respond to changes in such properties. As such, one may think the only ...

Back in 1980, it is believed that the first intelligent electronic sensor was proposed (by S. Middelhoek and J.B. Angell). Their idea was to combine a MEMS sensor, an analog-to-digital convertor, and ...

Pulse oximetry is a ubiquitous non-invasive medical sensing method for measuring pulse rate and arterial blood oxygenation. Conventional pulse oximeters use expensive optoelectronic components that ...

Smart technology does what we tell it to do, in theory. That might seem obvious in a world where Alexa can dim our lights on command, manipulate our thermostats or connect us with the delivery person ...
