Diagnostics World | A team of researchers from the U.S. and China have developed a flat, adhesive wearable sensor for detecting signals of individual and population health through the skin, and it can be manufactured at low cost using components that are readily available pretty much anywhere. Initially used in “smart diapers” to detect wetness, the multifunctional device platform now has a superhydrophobic coating making it waterproof so it can accurately monitor health variables without moisture or humidity interfering with the sensing.
