X-HEEP is a project that aims to improve healthcare monitoring by creating a new type of computer chip that can be customized by users. This chip can be used in small devices for personal health monitoring or in larger systems for more demanding applications. The project is open-source, meaning anyone can use, modify, and distribute it, which could lead to widespread adoption and innovation in the field of healthcare technology.

The X-HEEP project is an open-source RISC-V microcontroller designed for continuous healthcare monitoring. It provides a customizable microcontroller unit (MCU) composed of an open-source, industrial-grade RISC-V CPU, common peripherals, and memories, which users can extend with their own accelerators. The project targets both FPGA and ASIC implementations, with support for Xilinx-based FPGAs.
