Ultra-thin Wireless Wearable Skin-like Sensor ‘e-skin’ for Health Monitoring Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineers have developed a new category of wireless wearable skin-like sensors for health monitoring. This new sensor called ‘e-skin’ is an ultrathin semiconductor film made of a piezoelectric substance that adheres to the skin, sensing the vibrations of the body. Moreover, the sensor does not require any power… |
