High-Precision ECG Chips and System Core Technologies: 

Challenges in Wearable Application Scenarios and Prospects for Domestic Substitution

     With the popularity of smart wearable devices and the growing demand for health monitoring, ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring technology is increasingly integrated into wearable applications. However, foreign dominance in chips and technologies, coupled with challenges in wearable scenarios, has spurred an urgent need for domestic substitution. As a leading domestic supplier in bioelectric sensing chips, Shenzhen Kingsense Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kingsense Electronics") is breaking technological barriers and advancing domestic substitution through its self-developed high-precision ECG sensing chips and system solutions.

Current Integration of ECG Monitoring and Smart Wearables: Domestic and Global Perspectives

     The global smart wearable device market has experienced explosive growth. According to market research, the global wearable device market exceeded $100 billion in 2023, with an expected annual growth rate of over 15%. The integration of ECG monitoring has become a key driver of this expansion.

·    Domestic Market: High Demand, Urgent Need for Technological Breakthroughs
As one of the world’s largest consumer markets for wearables, China faces surging demand for health monitoring. However, domestic enterprises lag in core technologies for high-precision ECG sensing chips and systems, leading to heavy reliance on imported components for premium products.

·    Global Market: Technological Monopolies and Intensified Competition
International tech giants from the U.S., Switzerland, and other countries dominate ECG monitoring chips and algorithms. These players leverage decades of R&D and patent portfolios to establish formidable market barriers.

Challenges of ECG Monitoring in Wearable Scenarios

     Achieving high-precision ECG monitoring in wearables is challenging, particularly in miniaturization, low power consumption, and adaptability to complex environments:

·    Signal Interference:
ECG signals are susceptible to motion artifacts and electromagnetic noise, especially in wearables with limited skin contact and frequent movement.

·    Low Power Consumption and Miniaturization:
Wearables demand ultra-low power consumption and multifunctional integration within compact spaces, posing higher technical requirements.

·    Algorithm Complexity:
ECG signal analysis relies on sophisticated algorithms. Implementing high-precision processing and diagnostics on resource-limited hardware remains a hurdle.

·    Data Privacy and Security:
ECG data is highly sensitive. Ensuring secure transmission, storage, and privacy protection is critical for manufacturers.

Prospects for Domestic Substitution and Kingsense Electronics’ Technological Breakthroughs

     Amid foreign monopolies, domestic substitution has become imperative. Kingsense Electronics has achieved breakthroughs in core technologies for high-precision ECG sensing chips:

1.  Self-Developed High-Precision ECG Sensing Chips
The KS1081/KS1082 series, developed by Kingsense, features industry-leading signal sensitivity and anti-interference capabilities, enabling stable ECG signal acquisition in complex environments. The chips support both metal dry electrodes and fabric conductive electrodes, capturing high-precision signals from fingers or wrists.

2.  Low-Power and Miniaturized Design
Innovative designs have optimized power efficiency and size. Compared to imported alternatives, Kingsense’s solutions require fewer peripheral components and offer higher integration, enhancing device comfort and portability.

3.  Core Competitiveness in Domestic Substitution
As one of the few domestic enterprises mastering core ECG sensing technologies, Kingsense is disrupting foreign monopolies by providing reliable localized solutions for wearable manufacturers.

Market Outlook and Future Prospects

     The global ECG monitoring market is projected to exceed $50 billion by 2030, with accelerating demand for domestic substitution. A Kingsense spokesperson stated: “We are encouraged by the progress in domestic ECG chips challenging foreign dominance. Kingsense will continue investing in R&D to deliver smarter, more precise health monitoring solutions for global users.”
