New Epson Wellness SDK Supports Biological Measurement and Activity Tracking on the Head, Upper Arm, Torso, and Legs, as Well as the Wrist
- TOKYO, Japan, April 25, 2023 -Seiko EPSON Corporation has updated it's Epson Wellness SDK (software development kit) to facilitate the use of the E508M10, a compact, low-power PPG Healthcare Sensor now on sale. This SDK update makes it possible to easily take biological measurements and activity tracking even on parts of the body other than the wrist. The SDK will be available from April 25.
Wrist-worn smartwatches and fitness bands are growing in popularity due to rising demand for self-care as people seek to extend healthy life expectancy and prevent lifestyle diseases. At the same time, measurement device options are expanding with the emergence of smart earphones, smart rings, and other devices that take biological measurements and track activity at various locations on the body.
This SDK supports biological measurement and activity tracking on the head, upper arm, torso, and legs, as well as the wrist. This enables people whose job makes it difficult for them to wear an activity tracker on the wrist to monitor their health and activities.
The SDK uses pulse wave data to output a wide variety of biological data, including heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse-to-pulse interval, and heart rate variability (HRV). It also uses pulse wave data to provide actionable data, including calories burned, sleep analysis, stress analysis, steps, behavior discrimination, and sedentary detection.
