Apple is building its Health-focused Processor
Apple Inc’s latest smartwatch has already got the optical sensing capabilities to detect the heart rate as well as other health issues. The company is now beefing that it has got the team which will explore to make their health-centred chips, as per CNBC.
According to some reports, the Cupertino, which is a California-based device that has got a dedicated team which works on a custom processor which is especially focused on the healthcare monitoring.

It will make way for the addition with some customized features with some greater control as well as protection of the intellectual property rights for all kind of new offerings, freedom from dependence which is on outside of the suppliers. It will also improve the efficiency of the hardware modules. This kind of specialized chips can able to process the data specifically which is meant for the particular stream which includes the measuring of the distance travelled. This kind of customized processors will keep the main processor free for the core work of the device management along with the other necessary functions. It will deliver the better performance which is from the device which helps in reducing the power consumption.
