The University of California-San Diego (UCSD) reports that its engineers “developed the first flexible wearable device, the Chem-Phys patch, capable of monitoring both biochemical and electric signals in the human body.”
The Chem-Phys patch could be worn on the chest and will communicate wirelessly with a smartphone, smart watch or laptop, and was developed by the UC San Diego Center for Wearable Sensors in the Jacobs School of Engineering. More on the Center.
The Third Wearable Sensors Summit was held on April 14, 2016.
Watch UCSD Professor Joe Wang explain how wearable sensors work.
