Samsung announced that it is addressing the growing trend of quantified health with an all-in-one advanced system logic chip for the health-oriented wearables market, the Bio-Processor. ... Samsung Outs Health Smart Bio-Processor for Mobile
This seems like a good step forwards more usable portable personal biometric(if this is the correct term) devices.
honestly, i'd like to see this technology pushed in automated self driving cars and emergency devices over the fitness hype. They could send a emergency signal if there is a accident with fatal wounds, if your elderly relative falls down, or if a hospital needs new wireless patient tech; for example, those video pills you swallow. On my wrist is cool for like 3 weeks - 3 months then i'm probably taking a break, working to much, and in really good shape. I have a moto 360 watch and hardly use the fitness app features; most are on your phone, you can take your own heart rate with 2 fingers, and steps!?! Fit people run miles. If i were to get another wearable device it is going to need these features. James Bond 007 1. Battery Life 2. Video calling 3. 007 Adb For opening electronically locked doors. 4. Toggle pre/post-paid Moble data when not connected to phone or on wifi. Nonetheless, i'd like to see a picture of the silicon chip design!
