A stretchable device to monitor heart

Scientists have created an ultra-thin, stretchable electronic device using gold nano-particles that easily laminates onto human skin like an adhesive sticker and could be used for continuous heart rate monitoring. Researchers from Seoul National University have designed the heart rate monitor that, unlike most wearable devices, can sustain complicated mechanical deformations associated with human movements.The device also gets a memory performance boost, thanks to a touch of gold. The ultra-thin circuit demonstrated in this study is made of a stretchable silicon membrane containing closely-packed gold nanoparticles, instead of more conventional conducting films.

    I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
