Medella Health Selects DELTA's RFID Chip for Wearable Device
Through its North American partner ChipStart LLC, DELTA’s THOR RFID device will dramatically reduce both time- and cost-to-market
Copenhagen, Denmark and Waterloo, Ontario, Canada – June 23, 2014- DELTA Microelectronics, the European leader in complete ASIC supply chain services, announces today that its THOR RFID chip has been selected by Medella Health for its prototype B version.
Aimed at diabetes patients, the Medella Health wearable solution continuously monitors blood glucose levels, enabling non-invasive diabetes monitoring and management. DELTA’s RFID chip integrates with the Medella sensor, logging data and wirelessly powering the sensor.
“The THOR chip provides first-rate RFID capabilities that matched our rigorous medical device requirements” said Huayi Gao, Co-Founder and CTO at Medella Health. “The chip excels in providing wireless power to our device sensor.
The DELTA THOR is a NFC data logger IC that can store results arriving from on-chip temperature sensors, from external analog signals or from SPI master interfaces. The chip can supply 2.7–5.5V to an auxiliary slave, and is suitable for applications such as temperature logging or SPI-controlled sensors such as pressure, tilt, voltage and light.
