Medical ECG Slide 29

Patient monitoring and the ECG market will be discussed first. Shown on this slide, beginning at the lower left, are the different market segments which range from low-end, to mid-end, to high end. As the applications progress from low-end to high-end, the number of sensor leads increases. With an increased number of leads, there is a corresponding increase in the complexity of the analog circuitry, MCU, signal processing, and power requirements, which are going to affect each of these markets. As an example, on the low-end, there are heart rate monitors, consumer instruments and PBANs, personal body area networks. The mid-end applications include pulse monitors, defibrillators, and other types of patient monitoring. Finally, the high-end market includes instruments such as ECG, EEG, fetal ECG, and bispectral index monitors.
