Flexi, the new flexible AI chip, delivers real‑time health analytics while sipping less than 1 % of the power traditional rigid processors need. It’s thinner than a human hair, can bend, twist, or crumple, and still runs neural networks on‑device. If you’re designing next‑gen wearables, this chip lets you cut battery size and keep data private.
How Flexi Redefines Wearable Power Consumption
Flexi operates under a milliwatt of power, which means you can power a smartwatch or health patch for days without a recharge. The ultra‑low‑power design eliminates the need for constant cloud offloading, reducing latency and protecting sensitive health information.
Mechanical Resilience and Durability
The chip sits on a pliable plastic substrate that survives more than 40,000 bending cycles. Whether you fold it into a smart shirt sleeve or press it onto skin‑like patches, Flexi maintains performance without cracking or losing functionality.
On‑Device AI Performance and Accuracy
In real‑world tests, Flexi identified irregular heartbeats with 99.2 % accuracy and tracked daily activities at 97.4 % accuracy. Those numbers rival commercial solutions, yet the chip consumes a fraction of the energy, making truly autonomous wearables possible.
Manufacturing Advantages and Cost Efficiency
Flexi’s low‑temperature plastic process aligns with roll‑to‑roll manufacturing, enabling mass production at under $1 per unit. This cost structure opens the door for low‑cost wearables that previously could only host simple sensors.
Developer Benefits and Integration
Developers can port lightweight neural‑network models directly onto Flexi without external accelerators. Whether you’re building arrhythmia detection or step classification, the chip’s architecture supports on‑chip inference, speeding up time‑to‑market for smart textiles.
Remaining Challenges and Future Outlook
Scaling production while maintaining high yield remains a hurdle, and OEMs will need to redesign products around a flexible substrate. However, the proven durability and negligible power draw suggest these obstacles are surmountable.
- Ensure supply chain readiness for flexible substrates.
- Adapt design workflows to accommodate bendable components.
- Validate long‑term reliability in diverse environmental conditions.
When you choose Flexi for your next wearable, you’re investing in a chip that blends mechanical flexibility, energy efficiency, and on‑device intelligence—all the ingredients needed to push autonomous wearables from the lab into everyday life.
