In today’s fast-paced world, wearable devices like smartwatches are more than just accessories—they’re life companions. A core feature that continues to evolve is optical heart rate monitoring, made possible through Photoplethysmography (PPG). But designing these systems is no small feat. From ensuring accuracy to reducing time-to-market, every step requires precision. That’s where OpticStudio steps in, revolutionizing how we approach this challenge.

The Power of Virtual Prototyping

OpticStudio enables engineers to simulate light-tissue interactions with unparalleled accuracy. By leveraging a multi-layered skin model and real-world measurement data, we can:

  • Accurately model biological tissues using the Henyey-Greenstein scattering distribution function.

  • Conduct time-domain simulations to analyze pulsation in blood flow.

  • Assess sensor performance to identify the best design—all before building a physical prototype.

This physics-based approach saves both time and resources, allowing developers to focus on refining the technology instead of iterating endlessly.

Real-World Applications

Wearable devices, such as smartwatches, rely on optical emitters and detectors to measure changes in blood flow. With OpticStudio, designers can:

  • Optimize emitter-detector configurations.

  • Enhance sensor placement for better accuracy.

  • Reduce power consumption by refining light source intensity.

The result? Devices that are smarter, more efficient, and more accessible to users worldwide.

Why It Matters

Virtual prototyping is not just about efficiency—it’s about innovation. With OpticStudio, we’re paving the way for a future where health monitoring is more reliable, cost-effective, and widely available.
