Smart devices monitor the patient's analysis

Smart devices monitor the patient's analysis 

With the increasing prevalence of smart wearable devices, began to enter the multiple uses of new areas and attract new users. Having been converted watches, eyeglasses, bracelets and rings to smart devices display alerts and picks up the images and track user activity and health, the researchers went to make them also provide medically accurate information about the user's health through the race analysis.

It is well known that a lot of smart devices midwife can wear the current measure heart rate, but the new work is what it Sincenta researcher at the American University, Jason Infeld.

Since five years, Infeld and Joshua Hagee works and other scientists from the US Air Force Research Labs to search for suitable means to monitor the pilots in response to pharmacological treatment and food, injuries, stress and other physical changes during the training and performance of tasks, and led them to develop the label is able to stimulate the sweat and measured, and then send the data to the smartphone.

It contains sweat on a range of useful information that reflect the state of the human body in real time, and can capture this information by smart wear disposable device that takes advantage of the label, and in turn sends them to the smartphone to be analyzed.

The researchers have benefited from the information provided by the race control physical exhaustion which, like alert athletes on the degree of stress that affect them, and the level of drought in their bodies. Although such problems may seem easy to predict, but the reality is the opposite, as the months athletes could collapse because of their bodies through competitions similar problems.

Flexible Electronics

To access the information on the human health of his race, must order some electrolytes ratios in the race analysis, sodium and chloride-style, so the integration of researchers in the prototype of the Saguethm sensitive to sodium, and transmit antenna, electronic chip, which is integrated internal components in a flexible material, Packaging label was another material allows long installed on human skin.

Developer team and benefit of the technique of flexible electronics manufacturing for the production of hundreds of labeling process to be tested extensively before the end of this year, are also experimenting with different types of sensors capable of capturing ions variety to sodium and chloride side, and use that to predict situations like stress levels, and injuries of muscles and Thtkha .

According to Hiknfeld, the results of the initial tests of the system looks promising, and if everything was just fine, it is expected that the use of technology is widely begins when athletes who usually Atarkon frequently, or ordinary people like cystic fibrosis patients.

The advantage of the process of the label "Alarahal ion" which incited the skin to produce sweat, which is a method used by doctors for years to pay for anti-inflammatory drugs through the skin to reach the infected tissue.

Hiknfeld and is expected to reach its technology to market in a limited way next year, as his team is working on the second generation of the system, using the Bluetooth technology to secure the connection, and space to store the data, and in control microcosm in order to capture the higher frequencies are complex and signals from sensors, electronic label, which provides continuous monitoring of the state of the body does not cause a nuisance to humans, and without that feels so originally.

The use of information provided by the sweat of the human body to diagnose his condition, which is not a new thing, which is not easy because of the difficulty of collecting sweat samples, transport and analysis, but new to this innovation -opasthaddam viable techniques for Artdae- will benefit from the information provided by the race is easy and available by for all.
