We present a System-On-Chip Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) for analyzing and processing the signals off an accelerometer for a wearable joint health assessment device. FPAAs have been shown to compute with an efficiency of 1000 times, as well as area efficiencies of 100 times, more than digi...
