Ames Osram (Swiss Stock Exchange: AMS), a leading global optical solutions provider, announced today that its CORE sensor, launched in collaboration with renowned partner Greentech, has brought new changes to the endurance sports field - its temperature monitoring technology has become a key technical support for global triathlon projects.
The core of this innovation lies in Greentech's certified CALERA ® Heat flux sensors and algorithms. These sensors can be easily integrated into smart wearable devices and have broad application prospects. And CALERA ® The perfect combination of sensor technology and the advanced AS6221 digital temperature sensor from AMS Osram in CORE equipment provides reliable data and insight capabilities for endurance athletes. With its innovative design, this lightweight and compact wearable device can help athletes regulate their body temperature, effectively reducing the risk of overheating and helping them perform at their best.
Imagine: Gustav Iden, the champion of the 2022 Ironman Triathlon World Championships, raised his hands to celebrate his victory at the finish line in Kona, Hawaii, wearing a cutting-edge embedded temperature sensor from AMS Osram. Gustav Iden and Kristian Blumenfelt, the Norwegian triathlon duo, fine tuned their training strategy based on depth data provided by CORE to ensure they remained ahead in the race.
Gustav Iden is the 2022 Kona Ironman World Championships champion, as well as the 2019 and 2021 Ironman 70.3 World Championships champion: The photo captured the moment he crossed the finish line at the 2022 Ironman World Championships, wearing a CORE wearable device equipped with an AMS Osram temperature sensor.
After years of in-depth laboratory testing, CORE's thermal fatigue index formula has been further optimized to more accurately reflect the body's thermal fatigue situation, and a more easily understandable concept of thermal zones has been introduced for this purpose. These hot zones are determined by the relationship between skin temperature and core temperature using temperature data measured by AMS Osram temperature sensors.

In global sports events, athletes must compete under increasingly stringent conditions. CORE technology has become a benchmark for precision with its ultra-high accuracy, providing key health indicators that lay the foundation for developing strategies to improve exercise endurance and achieve optimal performance. The AMS Osram AS6221 digital temperature sensor embedded in CORE is a highly accurate skin temperature sensor worldwide, known for its ultra-high precision, with a maximum error of only ± 0.09 ℃. The sensor adopts a small wafer level chip package (WLCSP) with a size of only 1.5mm × 1.0mm, and has extremely low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for wearable devices such as CORE, ensuring comfort and flexibility during wear. It is powered by a small and lightweight battery, with a working current of only 6 µ A when measured at a speed of 4 sampling points per second. It has a long battery life and can easily meet the needs of top athletes.
Ames Osram's pursuit of innovation and excellence goes beyond functionality: our mission is to make athletes' training smarter, perform better, and achieve their athletic dreams. As a global leader in the field of intelligent sensors and transmitters, AMS Osram works closely with Greentech to open a fast track for prototyping and customized solutions, helping wearable device OEMs achieve ultra-high precision and efficiency.
However, the product portfolio of AMS Osram goes far beyond digital temperature sensors and includes all the components required for advanced fitness trackers and health monitoring. Whether it's transmitters, sensors, or algorithms for vital sign monitoring, the company has always been at the forefront of wearable technology and sports science.
