Qualcomm Life, Inc. has designed and developed breakthrough reference designs for cost-effective, connected and medical-grade biometric patches that will enable a multitude of intelligent care models, from perioperative care to assessing the impact of therapeutic interventions. Designed to allow healthcare professionals to monitor patients across the care continuum with access to near real-time data, the patches measure a variety of biometric parameters — including clinical thermometry and sophisticated motion measurements — enabling care providers to make better-informed decisions. Benchmark Electronics, Inc., a leading global provider of integrated electronics manufacturing, design and engineering services, will license the reference designs and serve as the device design and manufacturer of record with the FDA for those sensors.
The patches were developed on Qualcomm Life’s 2net™ Design platform, which leverages Qualcomm’s expertise in developing innovative reference designs for wireless, power-efficient, small-integrated modules to create smarter, more affordable and intuitive connected medical devices.
