AS7026 – Smart Health & Fitness solution

- Multiple vital signs sensor for wearables and smart health: HRM, HRV, ECG & BP
- Accurate, cuffles blood pressure measurement
- Enhanced optics for improved PPG signal
- Highly integrated module: 3 LEDs, integrated lenses and 5 photodiodes
- 1-stop shop combining Hardware and Algorithm
- Small size solution 2.75mm x 6.2mm
General Description
The operation of the AS7026 is based on photoplethysmography (PPG) and electrocar-
diogram (ECG). PPG is the most used HRM method which measures the pulse rate by
sampling light modulated by the blood vessels, which expand and contract as blood
pulses through them. ECG is the reference for any measurement of the bio potential
generated by the heart.
The AS7026 is supported by algorithms converting the PPG and ECG readings into
digital HRM, HRV and Continuous Blood Pressure values. The cuff-less Blood Pressure
Measurement has been optimized to fulfill the IEEE Std 1708-2014.
The module includes the LEDs, photo-sensor, analog front-end (AFE) and sequencer as
well as application software. In addition to HRM/HRV and Blood Pressure, the module
also enables skin temperature and skin resistivity measurements by providing interfaces
to external sensors.
The AS7026’s low-power design and small from factor is particularly well suited to
application in fitness bands, smart watches, sports watches and smart patches, in which
board space is limited and in which users look for extended, multi-day intervals between
battery recharges.
