Doctor Band-Aid

 

Band-aid!!This is come to use when we need to cover our wounds.But now it is also used for health monitoring purpose.Strange!!!Yes this is the fact.

The researchers from Illinois and Northwestern university have developed an electronic patch looking like band-aid that can stick to a user's skin and can relay health information to a phone or computer.The device includes silicon chips contained in a plastic case and silicon fluid that help it to stay attached to the skin even through continuous movement.The designer designed them in a way so that the patch does not break and fold and unfold according to the skin's motion.
In the near future the developers wants to add bio-mechanical sensors to it so that it can analyze user's sweat and transmit more information about health.
