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/

Looking for some weekend reading or listening? Every month we'll share with you a recommendation from one of the Rockley team. We're a diverse bunch, so we hope to cover lots of ground — with a little something for everyone.

This month's recommendation is “The Four Agreements,” a Toltec Wisdom Book by Don Miguel Ruiz.

“Thousands of years ago, the Toltec were known throughout southern Mexico as ‘women and men of knowledge’ . . . scientists and artists who formed a society to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the ancient ones.” The agreements act as a code of conduct that can transform us as human beings and how we relate to one another no matter where we are.

The Agreements are:

• Be Impeccable With Your Word: Words are powerful, be they negative or positive about yourself or others

• Don’t Take Anything Personally: Seek immunity from the opinions and actions of others

• Don’t Make Assumptions: Communicate clearly

• Always Do Your Best: Under any circumstance (changes often), always do your best

It’s a small book that can be easily read over a weekend! Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge once wrote, “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” This paradox of “close but not quite right” could easily apply to the current state of measurement.

offers a solution that just might make it easier for people to understand their personal hydration levels and help them make better-informed decisions about their hydration, health, and well-being.

Check out our "The Quest for Hydration," which examines the complexities of hydration measurement and describes how Rockley's clinic-on-the-wrist™ technology could help people better manage their hydration:https://rockleyphotonics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Rockley-Photonics-The-Quest-for-Hydration-Management.pdf
