Smart buildings and mobile health are, at first sight, two different trends within IoT. However, at sensor level they converge into a stringent need for disruptive technology. Accurate body temperature measurement, for example, is harsh - thermal conditions are out of reach for state-of-the-art sensors. Emerging smart building applications will require accurate and stable thermal arrays with sufficient resolution (e.g. 30x30 pixels) at an affordable price point. People detection, counting, localization and thermal signature of the environment are crucial as input for smart lighting, HVAC and fire detection purposes. Melexis will highlight in this session its disruptive MEMS thermopile technologies with huge consequences for aforementioned markets. The session includes a demo of world's first mobile medical temperature sensor and thermal array for IoTs as described above.
