Revolutionizing the process of heart monitoring, researchers have developed a wearable e-tattoo that provides continuous heart monitoring outside of a clinical setting.
A team of researchers from The University of Texas at Austin has created a flexible and wearable medical device that could transform the fight against heart disease. This device called an electronic tattoo or, can be attached to the chest to continuously monitor the heart outside of clinical settings.
The e-tattoo is wireless and mobile, as it has small active circuits and sensors linked by stretchable interconnections. The device weighs just 2.5 grams and can be worn comfortably with a medical dressing. It runs on a battery the size of a penny that lasts for over 40 hours, giving patients an easy and non-intrusive way to keep an eye on their heart health.The e-tattoo device measures two crucial aspects of the heart: the.
The device was created as part of a partnership among multiple universities, which was granted funding in 2021 from the National Science Foundation's ASCENT initiative to explore chest e-tattoo technology.The United States' top cause of death is heart disease, but a new e-tattoo has the potential to significantly aid in combating this issue.
