FIT T-shirt Will Monitor your Health Wirelessly
FIT medical sensing shirt (Credit: Maxim Integrated) California based company Maxim Integrated recently announced a model for a vital signs monitoring shirt. The T-shirt is able to measures 3-lead ECG, body temperature, and motion and report record this information wirelessly ...
Q-Sensor Will Tell you How Stressed You Are
The Massachusetts based Company Affectiva developed a special watch-like sensor which measures emotional arousal via skin conductance that grows higher during states such as excitement, attention or anxiety and lower during states such as boredom or relaxation. Q-Sensor There are ...
Super Chemical Sensor
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new approach for “electronic noses.” The new noses are comprised of 16 microheater elements and eight types of sensors with a pattern-recognition module that mimics the way ...
Diagnosing Cancer by Breathing
Scientists from the University of Oklahoma, led by Dr. Patrick McCann, have created a new method for cancer diagnosis using an infra-red based sensor that could identify markers released from the lungs of cancer patients. This development may make diagnosis ...
Carbon Nanotubes for Chemical Detection
Researchers at Rice University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have recently been able to use carbon nanotubes to make the “blackest black” — the darkest material ever created, reflecting only 0.045 percent of all light shown on it. Schematic of a ...
Monitoring Vest to Help Understand Asthma
Researchers from the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a sensor that will constantly monitor the air in the vicinity of asthma patients. Analysis of the data collected by the sensor will hopefully help scientists understand the causes of ...
