World’s largest chip maker Intel Corporation has unveiled a new sensing platform for enabling mobile-based healthcare delivery to masses.

“Our new chip, combining hardware, mobility, analytics and cloud-based technology enables doctors and hospitals to provide affordable personal healthcare for masses,” the US-based company’s Indian subsidiary said in a statement here Monday.

The new sensing platform, showcased at the CeBIT India IT event here last week, has been designed to meet the specific consumer needs of India and other emerging markets and can also be used to create applications for different consumer segments.

The research and development centre of the US-based company’s Indian subsidiary in this tech hub has contributed in developing the new platform.
