Portable data terminals (PDTs) are a popular device to access and transmit data remotely across a network. They often need to be able to be used for a long number of hours, and are constructed to be more sturdy and withstand harsher conditions than other mobile devices due to their use cases across industries. This means their components must be able to offer high reliability, ultra-low power, and...

Glucose meters detect glucose levels in blood samples, which is a critical piece of medical equipment for millions of people, especially those with diabetes. The majority of these monitors are electrochemical, and can be either continuous or discrete (single-test) meters. New glucose meter designs are expected to offer longer battery life and increased reliability, while integrating new features s...

Blood pressure monitors are a key piece of medical equipment, and must be both reliable and accurate whether they are being used for home healthcare or at a clinical-grade level. Low power consumption, ease-of-use, and a small form factor are key aspects of performance and patience comfort. These devices are expected to offer increasingly high levels of integration such as wireless connectivity wi...
