Jiobit’s new chip for tiny devices uses cloud-based machine learning in its quest to shrink wearables so much they become “invisibles.” Yahoo! explores the device-shrinking strategy of the Chicago-based startup, which has been operating in stealth mode for nearly a year. And as wearables proliferate across the world, miniaturization and improved battery life become an increasing priority. Jiobit’s new chips are looking to miniaturize connected devices to the point where they are so small that users forget they’re wearing them, hence “invisibles.” On top of this the company aims to extend battery life from current devices that use energy hogging sensors so that recharging is only done a couple times a month, all without sacrificing functionality. “We’re shooting for two to three weeks of active time with a battery half the size of current devices,” said Jiobit CEO John Renaldi. The initial focus of the company will be on developing miniaturized wearables that will let parents track their children.
