Apple is working on dedicated health data chip to analyze information from sensors?

According to a report broadcast today by CNBC, Apple is working on a dedicated chip that will analyze health data collected by sensors inside Apple devices. The company posted an opening on its Jobs at Apple webpage on July 10th, seeking someone to design, develop, and launch next-gen sensor technology in Apple products. The person hired would be part of Apple's "Health Sensing Hardware team" that "creates sensor solutions and technologies for Apple’s products." A later posting from earlier this month stated that Apple was "seeking a highly motivated engineer to help develop health, wellness, and fitness sensors, systems, and applications."
"We are seeking a highly motivated engineer to help develop health, wellness, and fitness sensors, systems, and applications. You will engage in a collaborative, rapidly-changing environment to design groundbreaking new technologies.
We will empower you to engage with a variety of internal teams and external partners to continually question the limitations of technology implemented in health products. You will thrive in this role thanks to your consumer, health electronics background and depth of expertise in hardware design."-Apple job posting
You will become part of a hands-on hardware design and development engineering team that fosters engineering excellence, creativity and innovation. Join us to design and develop category-defining features that represent the groundbreaking edge of innovation in the emerging and dynamic consumer health field.
Last November, Apple and Standford University agreed to study how the Apple Watch might be able to detect irregular heart rhythms. Early detection of such a defect should be able to save lives.
