technologyvista.in: This Infra-Red Patch On Your Arm Changes Colour Depending On Your Health Condition A research team comprised of researchers from Northwestern University and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has built a health monitoring gadget that is worn on skin and tracks skin and heart condition. It measures as a 5 cm square patch which does not stand out while alerting the user of conditions that cover a wide spectrum such as cardiovascular issues and even issues such as dry skin. The comfort of using this patch like gadget was the key factor since it is supposed to be worn 24/7. The patch is similar to skin and is made up from about 3,600 liquid crystals that measure in at 0.5 mm squared. These liquid crystals have been laid out onto the substrate that is stretchable. These crystals work as temperature points after the device is worn and monitor the changes in temperature that the user’s skin goes through. Temperature changes allow the gadget to ascertain the user’s blood flow rate and eventually, determine the cardiovascular health. The device can also monitor skin hydration level of the user.
