BANGALORE, India (AFP) — US microchip maker Intel is developing a technology to allow remote monitoring of a person's health through signals from a hand-held device, the company said on Wednesday.
Intel's Indian and US researchers have built a prototype which would alert a person carrying the wireless device, and doctors monitoring the person's health, to any impending medical emergency, said chief technology officer Justin Rattner.
"We're now seeing numerous new areas of application, such as education, health and entertainment, which can be used to transform people's lives," Rattner said.
"Technology like this will help us live better and longer," he told a news conference in the southern city of Bangalore.
The Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker's research facility in Bangalore is playing a leading role in development of the system.
