University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) developed computing chip that processes information by mimicking the human brain.
Sihong Wang, Assistant Professor said people’s health could be tracked continuously by wearable electronics.
One of the keys to making these sensors feasible is their ability to conform to the skin.
Cutting-edge artificial intelligence platforms that integrate machine learning to identify patterns helps complex analysis.
“Sending health data wirelessly is slow and presents a number of privacy concerns,” Wang said.
He added, “We wanted something that can achieve very intimate contact and accommodate the movement of skin.”
Neuromorphic computing chip—functions more like a human brain, able to both store and analyze data in an integrated way.
Wang’s group used it to analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) data representing the electrical activity of the human heart.
Whether or not the chip was stretched or bent, they showed, it could accurately classify the heartbeats.
Wang said, “This is not finished research, it’s just a starting point.”
Research by University of Chicago, led by Sihong Wang, published in Journal Matter.
