Welcome/Session Chair
A Wearable Social Distancing Solution Based on Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensors
Ensuring safe social distancing in the workplace is one piece of the puzzle to enable people to work safely in the age of COVID-19. One means of ensuring safe social distancing is via wearables that continuously measure the distance between personnel. While providers of existing tracking technology based on Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) or RFID trackers are attempting to position their solutions for social distancing, finer accuracy requirements narrow down the options to ultrasonic and ultrawideband (UWB), with ultrasonic delivering a greater accuracy of < 1 cm versus < 10 cm for UWB. Relative to UWB, MEMS ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) range sensors consume much less power: a Chirp ToF solution can operate at 1% of the power required by UWB chips, enabling a coin-cell tag to operate for an entire workweek. In addition, electromagnetic range sensing solutions such as UWB have a critical failing for social distancing solutions: UWB cannot natively determine whether people are separated by a barrier, such as a door, window, wall, or partition. Because ultrasound propagates through air, only ultrasonic sensing can natively determine whether people are safely separated in the workplace. In this presentation, I will describe how tracking solution-providers are using Chirp’s MEMS ultrasonic ToF range sensors to create social-distancing solutions that respect an individual’s privacy but also permit an automated contact tracing capability to notify affected individuals and their emergency contact or direct management, providing a cost-effective way to minimize workforce disruption and stop chains of infection from propagating.
Semiconductor Based Ultrasound& Democratization of Medical Imaging
In this presentation we will introduce the technology behind Butterfly iQ, the worlds first and only handheld ultrasound system. Enabled by Butterfly's Transducer-on-CMOS, iQ is 10x less expensive than any comparable traditional ultrasound and provides less expert users witha connected and easy-to-use diagnostic solution.
Topic Discussion Breakouts
Ultrasound as a Touch User Interface to Bring Surfaces to Life
In this presentation, we will explore how ultrasound and UltraSense’ TouchPoint technology can be used to replace mechanical buttons and why certain markets are ready or need to transform rapidly from mechanical to seamless virtual buttons.
