Mouser Electronics, the leader in New Product Introduction (NPI) innovation™, offers a range of resources for wearable developers, helping them scale their skills and unlock their potential.

Mouser announced today that its Wearable Resource Center provides designers and engineers with a comprehensive, trusted, up-to-date resource.

Mouser analyzes topics, trends, solutions and products ranging from smartwatches and fitness trackers to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets, providing engineers with the information and tools they need to further advance the wearable technology landscape.

As more and more businesses and individuals look to integrate wearable technology into their everyday lives, it has become increasingly important to stay up to date with the latest developments in this space.

Mouser offers a wide range of knowledge for engineers to understand application development methods and the latest news through a wide range of product catalogs, e-books, articles, blogs, and helpful articles, such as the newly released Weird, Wacky, Wearables that are changing our daily lives.

As technology advances, we can collect biosignals, such as through printable sensors.As information becomes more diverse and its accuracy and usability increase, the advent of a new era of wearable technology is being brought forward.

Mouser's content hub provides everything engineers need to design devices that support these applications, from convenient fitness and sleep tracking to more critical applications like health monitoring for critically ill patients.

Mouser has the industry's widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components for wearable solutions.

Looking at the key products, the MAX8614x pulse oximeter and heart-rate sensor from Analog Devices (ADI) is ideal for a variety of optical sensing applications, such as pulse oximetry and heart-rate detection. It features an architecture optimized for transmissive and reflective heart-rate measurement, and supports ultra-low-power operation for wearable devices attached to the body.

The AS7058 integrated analog front end from ams OSRAM is a multi-vital sign monitoring device capable of measuring a complete photoplethysmogram, electrocardiogram (ECG), body impedance and electrodermal activity. The sensor, which includes a multi-vital sign monitoring system, can measure body composition and skin hydration in applications ranging from fitness bands to medical patches.

ScioSense’s ENS161 digital metal oxide multi-gas sensor features four sensor elements based on metal oxide (MOX) technology. The ENS161 multi-gas sensor supports wearable devices that can continuously monitor air quality. The sensor is designed for low-power operation mode, reducing power consumption to 700 μA, and is available in a 3 × 3 × 0.9 mm LGA package.

Qorvo’s QM45500 Wi-Fi® 7 front-end module provides integrated matching technology and layout efficiency for a wide range of applications. The module is optimized for a wide 3-5 V operating range, making it ideal for supporting wireless connectivity in wearable devices.
