Samsung’s new Bio-Processor will power next year’s fitness trackers

Being able to regularly monitor your pulse is cool and all, but Samsung wants to take fitness trackers to the nest level with the Bio-Processor, a new chip that’s supposed to bring much more functionality to next year’s fitness trackers. The chip enables fitness trackers to monitor body fat, heart rate, skeletal muscle mass, skin temperature, and stress level. While we still have a long way to go before fitness trackers meet their full potential, this chip will definitely make next year’s gadgets more enticing than this year’s somewhat lackluster offerings.
