An important step forward in the future of self-health monitoring - EurekAlert
<p>Zheng Yan and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri have made a significant breakthrough in their ongoing development of an on-skin wearable bioelectronic device. Yan’s lab, which specializes in soft bioelectronics, recently added an important component to the team’s existing ultrasoft, breathable and stretchable material. The key feature: wireless charging — without batteries — through a magnetic connection. The team’s innovation, recently detailed in <em>Nature Nanotechnology,</em> provides the foundation for gathering precise vital sign measurements like blood pressure, electrical heart activity and skin hydration. The discovery could one day lead to early detection and timely interventions for chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes.</p>
