Heart Rate Monitor
NXP technology powers heart rate monitors by using transducers that can measure and amplify a heartbeat. This can be used to detect a heartbeat during exercise or to amplify a prenatal infant’s heartbeat by using the Doppler Effect. The function-specific sensor measures the heart signals and then, sends the data to a smartphone to, later on, analyze the data for medical or healthcare purposes.
