Samsung Electronics released a new semiconductor bio processor which allows constant monitoring of stress level, heartbeat rate and body fat level.
The bio processor is created by combining a sensor, a processor, and a memory chip into a single chip which can collect and process a variety of biometric signals.
This move is part of Samsung Electronics’ effort to dominate the healthcare wearable market which is growing at a rapid pace in recent years.
Samsung Electronics announced on December 28 that it will launch the mass-production of bio processors (Product name: S3FBP5A) for the first time in the industry.
The bio processor consists of a sensor which can collect five different biometric signals, including BIA, PG, electrocardiogram, skin temperature, and stress response, a micro controller, and a digital signal processor which together analyzes collected data, and a flash memory chip which can store information.
The newly developed bio processor will be mounted on Samsung’s new mobile healthcare devices which would be released within the first half of next year.
