Measure biological information wirelessly even during cycling, "Miller's" finger ring type pulse meter "

CEATEC JAPAN 2010ofMurata Manufacturing BoothAs an example of what can be done by combining a high-performance, ultra-compact sensor and a communication module, a "ring-shaped pulse meter" capable of simultaneously measuring a pulse and a blood oxygen state was exhibited as a reference It was.

Because it is compact, lightweight and does not require a cord etc., it is possible to easily measure the pulse etc. without restricting movement even during running and cycling, and it seems to be useful for comfortable and effective training.

Pictures and movies are from the following. Murata Manufacturing booth at Makuhari Messe 5 Hall.


"Finger ring type pulse meter" was featured on the front stage.


It is realized by combining "photoelectric pulse wave sensor" which measures pulse etc. during exercise, "Bluetooth low energy module" which transmits information with less power consumption, and powerful "small size secondary battery module" which can repeatedly charge .


A demonstrator woman appears and the demonstration starts.

This is a ring type pulse meter. Transfer information measured with a compact, thin, low noise sensor wirelessly to a personal computer, and since it consumes low power, it means that continuous exercise is possible without worrying about the battery.


Pulse and blood oxygen status measured with a ring type pulse meter are displayed on the screen. At this time it is soon after exercise, so the pulse is still 114, the blood oxygen state is 95, the state of "light blue" whistling with a cool face.


A few minutes have passed since the start of exercise. Heart rate is 145 and blood oxygen state is 100. If you keep exercising for more than 20 minutes keeping the "green" state of the smile displayed at this time, you can make effective aerobic exercise.


There was an introduction corner of a ring type pulse meter also in the booth.


Actually you can see it for the hand.


It is not a mock but the actual demonstration machine that is prepared at the booth, so you can actually see your pulse and blood oxygen condition.

The "photoelectric pulse wave sensor" which measures the pulse and blood oxygen state is located in the part hitting the finger's belly which is visible in the back.


MicroUSB has a form for charging, for fitting on the side hitting the back of the finger.


Although it is said that there is no plans to be commercialized as a "ring-shaped pulse meter" from Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. However, since technologies such as photoelectric pulse wave sensor, communication module, and small lithium secondary battery have already been realized, The day when the same thing is released from a health equipment manufacturer etc. in combination may be close.
