Researchers are developing skin-like electronics paired with artificial intelligence that could potentially detect possible emerging health problems.
A type of computer chip that mimics both the skin and brain could pave the way for wearable devices that monitor and analyze health data using AI right on the body.
Skin-like electronics for continuous health monitoring
Flexible, wearable electronics are becoming more common, but their full potential has yet to be realized. Ultimately, this technology could be utilized to create precision medical sensors that are applied to the skin and used to monitor and diagnose health.
The skinlike sticker includes a soft, stretchable chip that mimics the human brain.
