The Bio‑Processor was conceived to enable rapid development of innovative portable systems for the daily monitoring of the health of users. Samsung says it is the first all in one IC solution for the health market. Apart from the Microcontroller itself, the power control circuit (PMIC), the digital signal processor (DSP) and the flash memory, no less than 5 analog front ends (AFE) are integrated on chip: a bioelectrical impedance sensor (BIA), a photoplethysmography (PPG) (a technique for non-invasive vascular function analysis), an electrocardiograph (ECG), a skin temperature sensor and a Galvanic Skin Response (skin conductance) sensor (GSR).
