Vital sign monitors provide doctors and healthcare staff with valuable information about the physiological condition of a patient. These noninvasive monitors can measure several vital signs such as heart rate, the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen (pulse oximetry), blood pressure and respiratory rate. Those measurements can be securely transmitted to either the patient’s mobile device for storage or the patient’s physician for control.
NXP offers a wide variety of low-power and low-cost MCUs, crossover MCUs, sensors and secure wireless products suitable for vital signs monitors.
