A team of researchers has developed a new electronic skin that can track heart rate, respiration, muscle movement and other health data, and wirelessly transmits it to a smartphone.Developed by South Korean and US-based researchers, the electronic skin has better trackers, greater flexibility, smaller size and the ability to stick the self-adhesive patch just about anywhere on the body. The microsystem could also be used in robotics or autonomous navigation, which the team is now investigating.Researchers stated in a paper published in the journal Nature Communications said,"The wearable contains about 50 components connected by a network of 250 tiny wire coils embedded in protective silicone.
The soft material enables it to conform to the body unlike other hard monitors." The wearable wirelessly transmits data on movement and respiration as well as electrical…
