Aware
New intelligence with new spectrum
The Aware Series brings GeSi broad-spectrum photonic sensing to connected health — delivering tiny, non-invasive modules for skin detection, moisture analysis, HRM, HRV, blood pressure, and glucose insight. Engineered for precision and effortless integration, Aware turns light into continuous biometric intelligence for wearables and smart devices.
Precise SWIR sensing for
real-world wearables
The Challenge
Conventional silicon sensors struggle with precise skin detection, especially in complex, dynamic conditions — leading to false wear detection, unstable signals, and compromised user experience in earbuds and other wearables.
The Approach
Aware leverages Artilux’s GeSi SWIR technology for high-contrast, skin-specific sensing, enabling robust in-ear detection, stable vital signals, and always-on intelligence in a monolithic, ultra-low-power, CMOS-ready design.
Aware platform
GeSi-powered NIR-to-SWIR sensitivity enables rich, reliable optical detection across diverse environments.
A single optical window supports ID opening and robust, sweat-proof in-ear detection with full fault monitoring.
Non-disturbing HRM/HRV and other biometrics deliver stable, high-quality physiological signals across varied conditions.
Always-on skin and environment detection maximizes battery life, all in a compact, 12-inch CMOS-ready form factor.
