In the last few years, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers have become important components in many medical and healthcare products. Among others, accelerometers are implemented in non-invasive, minimally invasive, and invasive medical devices.

There are several reasons for this impressive penetration of MEMS accelerometers into medical applications. The early accelerometers were bulky, with high power consumption, analog output, and without any embedded intelligent features. However, there have been breathtaking advances in these accelerometers in the last few years. These advances have not only accelerated the implementation of accelerometers in a large number of medical products but also enabled a variety of innovative use cases in diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment.

Irida Labs is joining the STMicroelectronics Partner Program and will deliver its vision AI solutions suites and its PerCV.ai that will be combined with ST’s STM32 microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors for the seamless integration of scaled Vision AI applications.

Many of the highest-performance AI and ML applications are hard to access for companies that need lower cost-to-entry options or are in need of low-power options. Newer microcontrollers will need to make these AI tools available to these customers, too, in order to make AI truly ubiquitous.
