To date, SCIVAX and TSLC have combined a partner company\u2019s materials technology with SCIVAX\u2019s optical lens design technology and TSLC\u2019s packaging technology to develop the world\u2019s smallest light-source device, \u201cAmtelus\u00ae,\u201d and have begun shipping evaluation samples. Leveraging the technologies cultivated through \u201cAmtelus\u00ae,\u201d the companies have now succeeded in developing a product that significantly miniaturizes the sensor head (signal acquisition section) of PPG sensors used as vital sensors in smartwatches and other devices, compared with conventional products.<\/p>\n
This device achieves significant miniaturization compared with conventional devices, with a mounting area of approximately 1 mm2<\/sup>\u2014about one-tenth of the conventional footprint\u2014and a device thickness of about half.<\/p>\n The main features of the PPG sensor head are as follows:<\/p>\n \u25cf Smallest size<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n By minimizing the mounting area of the PPG sensor head, it can be installed even in tight spaces where installation was previously difficult.<\/p>\n \u25cf Expanded applications through multiple placement (array configuration)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Using multiple PPG sensor heads enables more precise sensing. In addition, using an array of sensor heads makes it possible to measure blood flow even in limited space, enabling use in, for example, beauty applications, home healthcare, and even nursing and other on-site settings.<\/p>\n \u25cf Low cost<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Because it uses a resin package in which the light source and optical sensor are integrally molded, it offers a significant cost advantage over conventional products.<\/p>\n SCIVAX and TSLC are looking ahead to expanding this technology into a wide range of fields, including applications in next-generation life science areas such as vital sensors.<\/p>\n About SCIVAX Corporation<\/p>\n SCIVAX Corporation was founded in 2004 as a specialist company in nanoimprint technology.
