Abstract

Wearable electronics is increasingly attracting researchers and manufacturers for the application opportunities it opens. Chip makers are responding to the hot wearable-computer trend with new components, microcontrollers and sensors. The most critical challenge is the autonomy of the systems. Even if battery management can help in extending the lifetime, the trade-off between features given by a multisensory platforms and autonomy can determine if a platform will win or not in the marketplace. In this paper we present a bracelet device, which attempts to maximize the capability of sensors on board, while still keeping the energy consumption low. Aggressive power management and an accurate selection of the sensors are addressed in this paper to demonstrate the effectiveness of our design.
