‘A personal, instantaneous doctor integrated into their devices' — how a new skin computer patch could run life-saving AI processes directly on your body
- This compute patch performs instant, on-skin AI analysis for health data
- Minimal latency is critical for conditions like ventricular fibrillation
- It could also overhaul robotics and edge AI for disaster relief
Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have developed a compute patch that can run AI models directly on the body, rather than sending data to a connected smartphone, cloud server or other external processor.
Published in the Nature Electronics journal, researcher Sihong Wang likened the development to having a “personal, instantaneous doctor integrated into [users’] devices."
Though it’s far from being commercially available, the tech tackles the fact that most wearables today essentially serve as data collectors only. While smartwatches have long been measuring heart rate, movement, oxygen levels, ECG signals and more, that data typically gets transferred to a smartphone for analysis, or even cloud servers in the case of the newly launched ...
