South Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has started selling a new bio-Processor chip which is designed for health and well-being-focused.

It can take everything from activity trackers to smartwatches to new levels.

The chip can monitor heart rate; body fat (bioelectrical impedance analysis); muscle mass (photoplethysmogram); heart rhythm (electrocardiogram); skin temperature; and stress levels (galvanic skin response).

But as well as being able to monitor five different bio-signals, the chip can also handle their processing internally, without recourse to another device.

The processor is designed to work as an element of a fitness band or a patch and this versatility of form factor as well as bio-sensing is what Samsung hopes will lead to the Bio-Processor ushering in a new wave of wearables.
