New Wireless Sensors Apply Directly to Skin, Improving Collection of Patient Information
Speaker: Huanyu (Larry) Cheng, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Professor, Penn State University
Penn State University researchers have developed a wearable sensor device that can be applied directly to individuals' skin to measure their conditions, including temperature, heart rate and blood-oxygen levels. The device is designed to be applied directly to a person's body like a temporary tattoo. With a small wireless module leveraging Near Field Communication (NFC) RFID technology or inductive coupling, it can transmit data to a user's smartphone
