Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced a collaboration with
LifeQ to develop technology that will make it possible for
non-invasive body monitoring devices to provide highly accurate
physiological data that currently is only available through the use
of expensive, invasive and hard-to-access equipment. By combining
the market-leading engineering and innovation of Analog Devices
with the unique biomathematical capabilities of LifeQ, the two
companies plan to design sensors that enable personalized,
continuous and accurate tracking of physiological parameters such
as heart rate, sleep phases, sleep quality, blood lactate, 24-hour
calorie intake as well as stress markers such as salivary cortisol.
Monitoring this type of data can increase early detection of
emergency conditions and diseases in at-risk patients.

“The development of smart wearable sensors is essential to
supercharge the next generation of non-invasive body monitoring
solutions,” said James Doscher, general manager, Industrial and
Business Healthcare Group, Analog Devices. “ADI offers the
semiconductor expertise and LifeQ provides the bio-mathematical
understanding needed to develop sensors that can make body
monitoring devices even more effective in preventing, predicting
and managing diseases. This, in turn, will impact how doctors and
patients share information, interact, and make decisions about
patient care. Patients can have greater access to vital data about
their own bodies and be more involved in their overall health and
wellness.”
"LifeQ’s collaboration with ADI will enable sensor solutions
that meet a higher and wider standard, including new industry
benchmarks such as the latest Android Wear requirements,” said
Riaan Conradie, co-founder and chief operating officer, LifeQ. “Our
goal is to deliver high-value physiological data to ecosystem
partners who are serving consumer lifestyle, corporate wellness and
health insurance markets."
ADI’s comprehensive portfolio of linear, mixed-signal, MEMS
(microelectromechanical systems) and digital processing
technologies are used in healthcare diagnostics, clinical
monitoring equipment, life science and medical instrumentation, and
health and wellness device designs.
With its world leading computational systems biology expertise,
LifeQ ensures a unique approach to the construction and acquisition
of information from bio-sensors. Combined with the patented LifeQ
bio-mathematical engine, a range of physiological measures that are
currently inaccessible, costly and invasive are now available both
through wearable devices and via LifeQ's API.
About LifeQLifeQ is a health informatics company that has
recently released a cloud based bio-mathematical engine and API.
LifeQ's bio-mathematical engine can ingest various data streams
(continuous, periodic, episodic and/or static physiological data
streams) to construct a highly personalized and accurate
digital representation of an individual's unique physiology. For
the first time physiological measures that are currently
inaccessible, costly and invasive are now available via LifeQ's
platform and ecosystem of partners who will be able to deliver
highly valuable personalized services in a wide range of market
verticals such as lifestyle, corporate wellness, health and life
insurance and clinical applications. Visit www.lifeq.com.
