TIDA-010270: Reference design feature clarification

Part Number: TIDA-010270
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4960

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

We are going through the "Biosensing patch reference design for continuous vital sign monitoring with Bluetooth® Low Energy" reference design board.

In the design observed below, and had a doubt could anyone clarify to the below query.

1. The device continuously monitor vital signs such as electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, respiration, pace pulse, temperature and motion. The design can be powered with 2 × CR2032 battery (3V input) or 1 AAA                battery (1.5V input) with an operating life of 14 days.
-> Along with monitoring, Does this device also continuously transfers the data to the Mobile/PC? or It transfers only based on any event/input? Will this covers under an operating life of 14 days? 

Any help would be very thankful,

    Hi Vamshi,

    Sorry for the late reply due to the vacation.

    Thanks for interesting in our design. The estimation for  an operating life of 14 days is calculated by the average current consumption of the design, while the patch design is continuously capture the data and transfer to the mobile app.

    Could you specific the evet/input you are referring to? Or you are asking for any new features?

    B.R.

    Thank you for the reply @Matthew Chen,

    We are planning to use AFE4960 of your design. 

    "while the patch design is continuously capture the data and transfer to the mobile app".
    -> From the device power on time it starts capture the data and transfer to the mobile app continuously, right?

    "Could you specific the evet/input you are referring to? Or you are asking for any new features?"
    I assumed events from Vital Signs (ECG, heart rate, respiration, pace pulse, temperature and motion) like below
    Example:
    1. If the Vital Signs meets/exceeds the upper/lower thresholds 
    2. Any input trigger from the user (like switch or command from app).

    Can you clarify for the below also,
    1. Will the support be there from software side as we are planning to use AFE4960?

    Hi Vamshi,

    Thanks that choosing the AFE4960 in your design.

    -->you can configure this according to your design need. For example in current firmware, the device is sleep until a Button is press to start the capture and transfer.

    --> all these features can be done in the firmware.

    --> you define the BLE service to do it.

    --> Sure we can support on the software programing. There are team in TI to help you build the BLE firmware. Will you consider to use our BLE device like CC2674?
