Why skin patches are a popular biosensor. How new fabrication approaches are enabling development of less obtrusive skin-path sensors. How advanced skin patches can monitor multiple biologic ...

Scientists have invented a paper-like, battery-free, AI-enabled sensor patch -- PETAL -- for convenient and effective monitoring of wound recovery. This novel technology provides early warning of ...

A soft, flexible sensor system created with electrically conductive yarns could help map problematic pressure points in the socket of an amputee's prosthetic limb, researchers report in a new study. A ...

Human sweat contains chemical information including blood metabolites, ion concentrations, and nutrients. Monitoring this information using a wearable sensor can allow non-invasive (i.e. without blood ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of wearable sensor that can detect signs of eye disease—without drawing blood or using expensive lab equipment. Instead, it’s a soft, non-invasive patch placed ...
