Edge-AI Data Acquistion & Inference Using HealthyPi 5 & Edge Impulse

HealthyPi 5 is a versatile device that can be used for a variety of applications. One of the most common applications is to use HealthyPi 5 as a data-acquisition device for collecting physiological data. HealthyPi 5 can also be used as a platform for edge-AI inference, where the data is collected and processed on the device itself before being classified according to a machine learning model. In this post, we will look at how to use HealthyPi 5 with the Edge Impulse platform for edge-AI data acquisition and inference. Support for Edge Impulse is being integrated directly into the HealthyPi Zephyr application and will be available in the next release. Read the full update.
