Samsung has launched an all-in- up to a quarter chip for the wearables market, allowing manufacturers to monitor five biometric signals simultaneously, without the need for any external processor parts, meaning the resultant chip is up to a quarter of the size of regular wearable processors. The up to a quarter sensors include bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), bloodflow meter, electrocardiogram ( Samsung ), skin temperature, and galvanic skin response ( Samsung ) to measure stress levels. Samsung is likely to license the chip to third parties, and it is said it will be available in consumer devices in early 2016 .
Samsung has launched an all-in-one chip for the wearables market, allowing manufacturers to monitor five biometric signals simultaneously, without the need for any external processor parts, meaning the resultant chip is up to a quarter of the size of regular wearable processors. The five sensors include bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), bloodflow meter, electrocardiogram (ECG), skin temperature, and galvanic skin response (GSR) to measure stress levels. Samsung is likely to license the chip to third parties, and it is said it will be available in consumer devices in early 2016.
