ECG / SpO2
• Two commonly used devices to monitor patient health are Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Blood Oximetry (SpO2) sensors
• ECG uses a bunch of op-amps to amplify a weak signal that can be used to diagnose the health of the heart
• SpO2 uses light / infrared diodes and photosensors + interface electronics to measure blood oxygen levels

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)
• A way of making things– Leverage on existing infrastructure of IC fabrication tools– Prototype on mass-production fabrication tools
• Co-location of sense, compute, actuate, control, communicate, power
– Increase performance and decrease cost– Integrate an increased number of fabrication technologies
• Closed-loop, microscale control of electrical, thermal, fluid, magnetic, optical, and mass flux
– Control phenomena on the microscale– Cause large effects both on macroscale and microscale
