The company is perfecting its own version of a health smartwatch that doesn’t need to be charged every day.
Verily CTO Brian Otis told the MIT Technology Review the company is hoping to integrate a number of new technologies into the watch, including chips that keep power low and medical sensors that measure electrocardiography.
The watches likely won’t be available to the public any time soon. According to Business Insider and a 2015 Bloomberg report, Verily is targeting medical researchers as its main users for the watch.
