Powering the Future of Digital Health: Ultra-Low-Power AI for Smarter Patient Monitoring

The future of healthcare is shifting beyond hospital walls, bringing intelligent, power-efficient health monitoring solutions directly into patients’ daily lives. But making remote patient monitoring (RPM) truly effective requires overcoming major barriers: battery life, device size, and data privacy. 

In this webinar, host Samir Jaber is joined by Scott Hanson, Founder & CTO of Ambiq, and Carlos Morales, VP of AI at Ambiq, in a discussion on how Ambiq’s proprietary Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®) and ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions are pushing the envelope on body-worn AI and RPM solutions. Learn how Ambiq is tackling industry-wide challenges, enabling always-on health monitoring without compromising comfort, security, or battery life.  

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

• The power-efficiency breakthrough that allows body-worn AI devices to run longer and process real-time health insights at the edge

• Privacy-first AI innovations, including millimeter-wave radar and local data processing, that minimize reliance on cloud connectivity

• Real-world applications of Ambiq’s technology, from fall detection and heart rate monitoring to advanced hearing aids and early dementia detection

• What’s next for edge AI in digital health: how ultra-low-power AI is shaping the future of personalized care and smart health ecosystems

About the speakers:

Scott Hanson, Founder & CTO of Ambiq 

Scott Hanson is the Chief Technology Officer and founder of Ambiq. Scott invented SPOT, Ambiq’s core sub-threshold technology platform, to enable the world’s most energy-efficient chips during his PhD studies at the University of Michigan. He founded Ambiq in 2010 and led the development of the world record-setting Apollo, Ambiq's first flagship processor. Under Scott's leadership, Ambiq has shipped more than 100 million chips to the world's top brands and has grown into the global leader in ultra-low power solutions.

In addition to his role as CTO, he has variously played roles leading product definition and development, managing production test, and, most importantly, spending a great deal of time with customers to understand their needs and their vision. As a widely recognized innovator in low power circuits, Scott today leads the development of Ambiq's technology roadmap.

Scott's pioneering work in sub-threshold design and picowatt processors has been widely published, with more than 30 leading publications, more than 20 patents on related technology, and a wide variety of speaking engagements. Scott's work was honored by the University of Michigan with the 2014 Arbor Networks PhD Research Impact Award and the 2020 ECE Alumni Rising Star Award and was honored by Ernst & Young as an Entrepreneur of the Year 2020 finalist.

Carlos Morales, VP of AI at Ambiq

Carlos Morales is the current Vice President of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Ambiq, where he leverages the Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®) platform to advance AI across extensive mobile and portable devices within the IoT universe. His strategic focus includes pioneering low-latency, AI-driven applications while minimizing energy consumption by implementing local and intelligent analytics.

Bringing over three decades of research and development experience from silicon to cloud, Morales has a distinguished career marked by significant technological innovations. Before his role at Ambiq, he spearheaded a comprehensive AI strategy and business development with Intel®'s global AI Software Team, where he served for five years. Earlier in his career, Morales was instrumental in Cisco’s Advanced Architecture and Research group, where he led initiatives such as the development of Fog Computing and the creation of the first full-featured software-defined router, now crucial in Edge to Cloud operations.

Morales enthusiastically describes his decision to join Ambiq: “The moment I understood Ambiq’s unique value, I knew I had to be part of their journey. The opportunities unlocked by bringing AI to the vast far-edge ecosystem are mind-boggling and terrifically exciting. Ambiq is uniquely positioned to transform the computing landscape, and I am thrilled to contribute to this revolutionary path.”
