Although the Akida Developer Kit is plugged in to a steady power supply and a Raspberry Pi is measured in watts, keep in mind as mentioned above that the Akida processor could rather easily be integrated in to a more compact, lower power, single PCB alongside an application processor, lowering power consumption significantly. Even further, the Akida IP could be directly embedded into a processor, eliminating the need for the stand-alone co-processor completely, adding just that small uptick of those few milliwatts to a device's power consumption, while adding NPU acceleration for machine learning tasks. -With these factors in mind, it is entirely feasible to build x-ray classification in to new generations of smart medical devices that can do real-time analysis to aid doctors in their decision making. It may even be possible to create small handheld, battery-powered classifiers, that simply accept a USB drive containing the images, which could be useful for remote clinics. +With these factors in mind, it is entirely feasible to build x-ray classification capabilities directly into new generations of smart medical devices that can do real-time inference, to aid doctors in their decision making.
