Apple is exploring to make a smartwatch that can detect symptoms of stroke. For this purpose, Apple is collaborating with Johnson & Johnson.
This development focuses on the ability of Apple Watch to detect Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) earlier than in previous models. AFib itself is a disease in which the heart beats irregularly.
Reporting from the Venture Beat page, Monday (1/21), the technology makes it possible to sort the main causes of stroke by relying on the results of heart rhythm readings. Apple actually has presented a background check for AFib to the first to third Apple Watch series last December. However, better and faster warning technology might be pinned on the latest Apple Watch series.
According to Johnson & Johnson's Scientific Chief Paul Stoffels, the purpose of this collaboration is to identify AFib and prevent stroke by combining hardware knowledge from Apple and what Johnson & Johnson has, from medical and scientific knowledge.
"We want a deeper understanding of results and prevention related to early detection. We are very happy to work with Johnson & Johnson who has a long history and expertise in disease," said Apple COO Jeff Williams.
Therefore, a series of tests are needed before the device can be marketed for medical purposes.
Stroke prevention studies on the Apple Watch will run for several years. The possibility of this feature will be present at the latest generation of Apple Watch in the next one or two years.
Gadgets technology has developed very rapidly in the past five years. The latest news, Google, a US multinational company, is reportedly completing the Soli Project. This project allows gadget users to control their devices with only gesture gestures.
Reported from The Verge page, Thursday (1/24), Project Soli has been developed since 2015. The technology allows users to simply control the gadget just by rubbing their fingers.
Google claims, the technology is very practical. Especially for users who control remote devices, such as smartwatches and smart speakers.
Later, Soli Project will be present in the form of a chip sensor that can be pinned on each device that you want to control.
When debuting as a prototype, the development of the Soli Project did not work well. The reason is that radar from the sensor cannot detect gestures accurately.
In March 2018, Google had time to apply for permission from Federal Communication Commissions (FCC) to add power to this technology.
And on December 31, 2018, the FCC finally gave permission so that this technology could be implemented on all devices.
Sensors from the Project Soli chip itself emit radio signals that collect frequencies by detecting various hand gestures.
From the gesture, the chip will send a signal to the device to operate. Users can easily control the gadget, such as scrolling, swiping, or changing pages on the gadget screen. "Although users control virtually, interaction with Project Soil will still feel responsive," Google said.
