Summary
Our vision is that Lingo will go far beyond today’s wearables for consumers to help you proactively manage your health, nutrition and athletic performance.” While we weren’t at CES, there was certainly a lot of opportunity to watch many of the talks and get briefings from companies. Infineon Technologies and Deeyook, a location-as-a-service (LaaS) startup, have jointly developed a low power Wi-Fi chipset for enabling precise location, fusing Deeyook’s ultra-precise, innovative algorithms into Infineon’s low power AIROC Wi-Fi portfolio to enable an accurate, passive, ubiquitous, and efficient location solution. Movandi announced a partnership with South Korea headquartered Doosan Group to design and manufacture smart repeater modules based on Movandi’s BeamXR technology, and deliver O-RAN RU radio units, small cells, mobile devices to global providers of 5G mmWave network repeater equipment including wireless solutions supplier FRTek (Fiber Radio Technologies). Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced its HealthCam scanning technology, currently undergoing regulatory review, that performs touchless, line-of-sight monitoring of vital signs. It uses a combination of facial recognition and thermal detection technologies to monitor vitals such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, body temperature and more, as well as other emergencies such as choking, sudden falls or collapsing, abnormal breathing, elder abuse and more.
