We are building a stretchable, wirelessly rechargeable biometric monitoring platform to enable nonstop monitoring of high-risk patients for weeks. We envision the end product to be a multipurpose platform where the sensors can be customized based on each user’s need for a variety of purposes, including home care, personal health management, and physical training, and the data collected will be analyzed on a smartphone app. Current monitoring devices require regular recharges, which can cause interruptions in data collection. Continuous sensing and real-time data transmission will allow patients to construct a biological profile over time, and such baseline-setting is crucial in temperature or heart rate monitoring when individual differences can lead to inaccuracies. For demonstration purposes, we will be using a temperature monitoring sensor.
Potential application cases include: electrophysiology studies with EKG monitoring; temperature monitoring for fever, autoimmune diseases, infection and sepsis; body position and movement tracking using accelerometry for physical training.
