Generating real-time data to better understand state of health can help deliver higher‑quality and more tailored care. Healthcare technologies that deliver high precision and operate with minimal invasiveness are vital to enable this to happen.

Nanomaterials developed by the University of Sussex have been combined with seaweeds to create highly‑accurate sensory technology. These ‘seaweed sensors’ offer a new wearable technology which tracks blood pressure, pulse, breathing and joint movement in real time

Informative, Researchers have created wearable sensors using just seaweed, salt, water, and graphene resulting in a fully biodegradable, “edible” second skin that can monitor vital signs like pulse, breathing, and movement in real time. These sensors outperform many plastic-based versions in sensitivity and are eco-friendly too.
