Wearable sensors are devices designed to be worn on the body that measure various physiological states. As part of the Internet of Things (IoT), these sensors hold significant potential for health monitoring. Researchers have now employed edge computing on smartphones to analyze data from a multimodal flexible wearable sensor patch to detect arrhythmia, coughs, and falls.
A research team from Hokkaido University (Hokkaido, Japan) has created a flexible multimodal wearable sensor patch and developed edge computing software capable of identifying arrhythmia, coughs, and falls in volunteers , With a prediction accuracy exceeding 80%. The patch is equipped with sensors that monitor cardiac activity through electrocardiogram (ECG), as well as respiration, skin temperature, and humidity due to perspiration. After confirming their long-term usability, the sensors were integrated into a flexible film that adheres to the skin.
