Movesense MD Sensor for Medical Use
Movesense MD is a programmable, wireless ECG and movement sensor, used as a signal measurement device to provide data for medical applications and host devices. It is going to be the first medically certified device in the Movesense platform. Movesense MD will be registered as a class IIa medical device accessory, in conformity with the EU medical device directive 93/42/EEC *. Movesense MD is capable of measuring single channel ECG, heart rate, beat-to-beat intervals and movement.
The Movesense MD is capable of measuring, processing and sending the measurement data wirelessly to smartphones via Bluetooth LE. Free mobile application for evaluation purposes, software development kit and example source codes are available to support starting the data collection.
Movesense MD can be used also for OEM use cases. The sensor is available in flexible quantities with customer branding, allowing the customers to focus on the algorithm and application development and commercialization instead of developing proprietary hardware.
It’s designed and manufactured in Finland by Suunto, a brand of world renowned sports watches, dive computers and precision instruments for the toughest conditions.
(*) Movesense MD sensor is currently undergoing reviews related to the medical certification and will be commercially available as soon as the registration has been granted. Developing applications for the Movesense MD sensor is already possible with existing elements of the Movesense platform.

Technical Highlights of the Movesense MD Sensor
- Programmability: Developers and OEM customers can build custom apps to tailor the functionality of the Movesense MD sensor for specific use cases.
- Local Data Processing: Converting raw data into meaningful results already in the sensor minimizes the amount of data that needs to be transmitted. This reduces remarkably the use of wireless communication (BLE) and extends the battery life.
- Internal memory: The sensor can calculate and record results in its internal memory autonomously without a mobile connection and upload them to a phone for instance once a day.
- Size and Weight: The small and lightweight sensor (<10g/0.35oz) is unobtrusive to wear even in continuous everyday use and can sustain mechanical impacts and submersion.
- Development Support: Movesense team is there to help you with technical questions and experienced Movesense development partners can run a full development project for you if needed. Movesense platform includes data collecting mobile apps that work out-of-the box and sample apps for both the sensor and mobile that support the prototyping of ideas.
- Going Commercial: Custom branding and custom firmware of the sensor are available straight from the production line.
