Samsung has announced the industry’s first Smart Bio-Processor, which will be used within wearable gadgets to track the health of users.
Dubbed ‘the all-in-one health chip’, this new processor aims to tap into a fast-growing market, able to take multiple measurements such as body fat, skin temperature, heart rate, heart rhythm and stress level.
Samsung also announced today that the group’s Bio-Processor is now within mass production, with the company gearing up to offer ‘innovative wearable products’ to fitness fanatics in the near future.
Ben K. Hur, Vice President of marketing, System LSI business at Samsung Electronics, said:
“With improvements in smart fitness devices and an increase in consumer health consciousness, more and more people are looking for ways to monitor various personal bio-data, or fitness data, to constantly manage their health.”
The Samsung spokesman went on to add that the group’s latest chip is capable of processing five different biometric signals, supposedly making it the most versatile health and fitness monitoring chip available on the market today.
Thanks to a host of on-board tech, the chip can process the bio-signals it measures without the need of external parts. In addition, Samsung claims the Bio-Processor is able to work effectively even in ‘extremely small devices’.
Samsung says the Bio-Processor is set to appear inside fitness devices within the first half of 2016.
