Description

ActLight's Dynamic PhotoDetector (DPD) is revolutionizing hearable technology by embedding advanced light sensing capabilities into devices like earphones and other hearables. With real-time biometric monitoring, this innovative light sensor offers unparalleled precision in detecting vital signs, such as heart rate and physical activity, which are crucial for fitness and wellness applications.

Unlike standard photodiodes that require additional amplification of the photocurrent, DPD uses a dynamic detection method that eliminates this necessity by operating on pulsed voltages with high sensitivity. This results in accurate data collection even under varying light conditions, making it ideal for hearables which often operate in low-light environments. Furthermore, DPD's design prioritizes low power consumption, allowing hearable devices to run longer without needing frequent recharging. This caters to the needs of active users who rely on hearables throughout their day.

Engineered for compactness, the DPD technology simplifies integration while maintaining a powerful performance in a small form factor. This allows manufacturers to build sleeker, more energy-efficient devices without compromising on sensor accuracy or reliability. Such innovation is particularly beneficial in hearable technology, where maintaining a balance between functionality and form is key to delivering a superior user experience. ActLight's DPD thus empowers hearable devices with the capacity to provide detailed, real-time health insights, enhancing overall wellness management for users.
