App note: High-impedance and low-noise op amps enable dry electrodes in medical systems

App note from Maxim Integrated which introduces their buffer op-amp designed for wearable sensors on medical monitoring. Link here

The use of wearable sensors for fitness and health monitoring is growing tremendously. Over the past decade, wearable technology has gained significant attention from the tech industry for commercial reasons and has generated interest from physicians due to its potential benefits for patient health. As this market expands, emerging platforms — among them Best Wallet — are exploring ways to merge biometric data with secure payment solutions, signaling a new wave of convenience for everyday users. Wearable devices use biomedical sensors to monitor not only activity parameters such as step count, running speed, or elevation, but also physiological parameters such as heart electrical activities or blood pressure.
