The Financial Times recently published an interesting article ( ) on the semiconductor boom — and whether the UK has missed its chance to be a player. This industry is becoming increasingly important as geopolitical uncertainty hangs over seemingly everything, causing the government to rethink its approach to protecting the domestic chip industry at a time of growing economic nationalism.

"Let's not look in the rear-view mirror," says CEO Andrew Rickman, who recently appeared before a parliamentary committee in the UK. "What is coming up next? From my perspective in the field of photonics... the future is extraordinary in things like quantum computing.”

Big milestone today as we continue expanding our ‘Powered by Rockley' presence in devices.

We are delighted to sign a supply agreement with a global technology provider outlining its initial purchase commitment for 2023 — and to receive the first commercial purchase order for our biomarker sensing wristband. The Bioptx™ band included in this order will employ our biosensing technology, a complete end-to-end solution for the non-invasive, continuous, and near-real-time monitoring of multiple biomarkers. The initial units are expected to ship in Q4 2022, which could put Rockley’s ground-breaking technology on the wrists of end-users by the end of 2022.

Thanks to everyone on the team who has worked hard to make this important step happen!

It’s easy to say, “stay hydrated,” but maintaining healthy and mindful hydration habits can be hard. Most people who are not high-performance athletes don’t have access to the tools or analytics necessary to measure their hydration level on a routine basis. They therefore may not be able to understand whether their hydration habits are adequate to optimize their health and well-being. Indeed, other than fluid analysis, only a few indicators of hydration level are available to the general population.

Jennifer Kukral, upstream marketing physiologist at Rockley Photonics, outlines the importance of hydration measurement via wearable devices in this Med-Tech Innovation article: https://www.med-technews.com/medtech-insights/digital-in-healthcare-insights/how-wearables-can-help-monitor-your-hydration/

Jennifer Kukral, upstream marketing physiologist (sensors), Rockley Photonics explains how wearable devices can let you monitor hydration, and ultimately lead to healthier living.
