First, there were devices attached to smartphone cases, then wearables connected to smartphones. Late,r even skin patches and continuous glucose monitoring devices, but combining all these? Researchers have developed a self-powered microneedle patch to monitor a range of health biomarkers without drawing blood or relying on batteries or external devices. "In proof-of-concept testing with synthetic skin, the researchers demonstrated that the patches could collect biomarker samples over periods ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours."

#AI | Arm Unveils Lumex : Next-Gen Mobile AI Chips Arm Holdings launches Lumex , its next-generation AI-powered chip designs that enable smartphones and watches to run advanced AI tasks without needing the internet. Read More , The new generation Arm mobile designs come in four types, ranging from less powerful but more energy efficient ones designed for watches and other smart wearable devices to a version designed to maximize the computing horsepower available. ThLumexex designs announced are part of the company's Compute Subsystems (CSS) business, which aims to offer handset makers and chip designers a more ready-made piece of technology that enables their speedy use in new products. The peak performance design aims to run software that harnesses the power of large AI models without accessing cloud computing on devices such as high-end smartphones. "AI is becoming pretty fundamental to kind of what's happening, whether it's kind of real-time interactions or some killer use cases like AI translation," said Chris Bergey , A Senior vice president and general manager at Arm ."We are just seeing AI become kind of this expectation." The complete designs the Arm is now making for data centers and mobile phones are part of the company's longer-term plans to grow its smartphone and other revenue through a variety of mean Arm also plans to invest more money into examining making its own chips and has hired several key people in order to do so. #Arm #Lumex #AI #MobileTech #ChipDesign #TechInnovation #DigitalTransformation #EdgeAI #SmartDevices #IoT #NextGenTech #CXOJunction #CXJExpress #ArtificialIntelligence #TechTrends
