This project by ALTEN Technology focused on developing a real-time cardiac analysis system and extending an existing wearable ECG data recorder for a medical device heart monitor within the Medical & Life Sciences domain. The approach involved extensive analysis and testing to thoroughly characterize the device’s energy consumption, leading to the identification of key areas…
This project by ALTEN Technology describes the enhancement of an existing wearable ECG data recorder for real-time cardiac analysis and extended monitoring. Through detailed analysis, testing, and firmware optimization, ALTEN Technology successfully reduced the device’s energy consumption while maintaining algorithm performance. The outcome was a low-power, long-term electrocardiogram recording and analysis system that exceeded lifetime requirements, achieved FDA 510(k) clearance, and dramatically improved battery life from 24 hours to a full seven days, all while meeting the ANSI/AAMI EC57 standard.
