MediaTek has officially announced its partnership with ISHO to power the new iFlow smart temperature control system and its Pro version. Both devices utilize the MediaTek Genio 420 platform, which features a system-on-module developed by ZelusTek to provide on-device AI computing capabilities for sleep monitoring.
The Genio 420 chip, introduced by MediaTek in March, is built on a 6nm process. It delivers 7.2 TOPS of AI performance and includes 16GB of LPDDR5X memory. The platform is pin-compatible with the existing Genio 720 and Genio 520 models, allowing for easier hardware migration for manufacturers.
The ISHO iFlow system, which launched in late October, starts at a price of ¥9 999. The device is designed to adapt to changes in body position and bed surface conditions. It employs ballistocardiography (BCG) technology for non-intrusive monitoring of heart rate and respiration throughout the night.
The system supports independent monitoring for two users simultaneously. Its multi-point sensing technology covers the entire surface of the bed to ensure continuous data collection. This integration of AI and sensor hardware aims to provide users with a more intelligent sleep environment.
