INDUSTRY WATCH
on components inspired by the human brain
(which we call neuromorphic memories),
merging storage and neurons per cell, with
massively parallel interconnected cells
operating at low power.
Pattern recognition offers massively parallel
computing, which means that no matter
how big or small the dataset, it offers the
sale latency by probing all the neurons
simultaneously. If there is no answer, it
means that in few nano seconds, there is an
anomaly detection. Then the user can decide
whether the system needs to learn or flag it
as an anomaly that needs further action.
What are the main benefits of
this process?
At the moment, most of the solutions
(even the hardware ones) are relying on
cloud-based software. Our Neuromorphic
technology bypasses this and builds the
pattern learning capabilities into the chip
without the necessity of sending information
to the cloud.
This means that there is no need to send
private data to the cloud or to a server when
a chip can protect you just as well.

Pattern recognition/anomaly detection also
means that we do not need to have a pre-set
database to start using our technology.
The system can learn on the go, and because
it is focused on pattern recognition and
anomaly detection, it has a high rate of
accuracy, does not intrude on privacy unless
necessary and offers on-site functionality.
Are there any other areas of
healthcare where the technology
could be used to potentially
save lives?
One of the key areas of focus for us is to work
with research institutes and universities to
create solutions that would help them detect
and avoid pandemic cases. This is possible
since the neurons in our chip can recognise
millions of bacteria in a millisecond
time frame, allowing the doctor to focus
immediately on the one unknown (anomaly)
virus that could prove to be the pandemic.
This would be useful for organisations and
WHO to help prevent global pandemics or
flag potential so that medical devices can be
updated to find the right solutions and have
the resources ready to combat these. n
