What is Heart Rate Sensor Market?
Electrical and optical heart-rate sensors are the two most common types of heart-rate sensors found in consumer sports equipment, but these are abbreviated versions of their full names. Electrical is also known as electrocardiography or ECG, and optical is known as photoplethysmography or PPG. Electrical sensors are commonly found in chest strap monitors, whereas optical sensors are light-emitting LEDs found in watches and arm straps. Both types require a snug fit, but not so tight that blood flow is restricted. The electrical heart rate sensor detects electrical activity produced by your heart. Optical sensors are getting a lot more attention these days because they're in so many wearables and smartwatches, and they tend to draw attention to themselves by emitting bright and colorful lights LEDs are used to detect the volume of blood flow beneath your skin. There are usually multiple LEDs, with some emitting light into your skin and others detecting changes in your blood flow.

Market Leaders & Development Strategies
In November 2021 Philips announced it signed an agreement to acquire Cardiologs, a France-based medical technology company focused on cardiac diagnostics using artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technology. Cardiologs will further strengthen Philips’ cardiac monitoring and diagnostics offering with innovative software technology, electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, and reporting services.
Philips launched Healthdot sensor for patient monitoring in March 2021. Philips has received CE Mark certification for its new wearable device; the Healthdot sensor. Certification of the sensor has been prioritized due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of the wearable device has been accelerated to support COVID-19 care and alleviate pressure on hospital (bed) capacity.
The MDR defines the regulatory requirements for medical devices, accompanying harmonized standards, common specifications, and guidance documents from the Med- Sensors 2021, 21, 4937 7 of 19 Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) of the European Commission. These apply for all devices (aspiring to be) legally placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA). The transition period of the changeover from the older Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD) and Active Implantable Medical Device Directive 90/385/EEC (AIMDD) to the EU MDR 2017/745 ended on 25 May 2021 [23]. At the latest, the new regulation must be implemented in all EU and EEA member states from this date onward.
