Think smart watches that recognize and normalize sleep apnea, a dangerous health condition. n Smart glasses that help the blind see and talk them through situations. Though many new devices are being developed, there is still a challenge to ensure that the devices can aggregate and share data, and communicate reliably and securely. TE Connectivity's Solution for Blood Oxygen Level Detection Demand is increasing for solutions for home healthcare with remote and self- monitoring technology. And sensor technology plays a vital role in many of these healthcare applications. TE Connectivity (TE) is now one of the largest sensor companies in the world, with innovative sensor solutions that help customers transform concepts into smart, connected creations. Electronic systems in medical equipment, devices and probes rely on sensor signals as a basis for control activities, accurate diagnosis and treatment. In particular, TE Connectivity offers cardiovascular monitoring and diagnosis sensors —including photo optic sensors that measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) and pulse. TE Connectivity satisfies this need with its Model SpO 2 components. Specifically, these optical components comprise a key part for non-invasively measuring blood oxygenation levels. It's an important capability. Low oxygen level can put a strain on cell functioning including the heart and brain. This is critical in acute medical situations like post-op recovery. Benefits of TE's solution include: n Best-in-class accuracy — TE's SpO 2 optical components improve accuracy with tighter red LED wavelength tolerance up to 660 nm ± 2 nm. Proprietary emitters spectrally matched to function with a detector drive this precision. More precision in acute medical conditions can mean the difference between life and death.
