Film turns smartwatch into health monitoring system
Researchers have developed a thin adhesive film that could upgrade a consumer smartwatch into a powerful health-monitoring system. The system looks for chemical indicators found in sweat to give a real-time snapshot of what’s happening inside the body.
According to the study, published in the journal of Science Advances, the researchers engineered a disposable, double-sided film that attaches to the underside of a smartwatch. The film can detect molecules such as metabolites and certain nutrients that are present in body sweat in very tiny amount. They also built a custom smartwatch and an accompanying app to record data.
“The inspiration for this work came from recognizing that we already have more than 100 million smartwatches sold worldwide that have powerful data collection and transmission capabilities,” said study leader Sam Emaminejad from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
According to the researchers, the skin-touching side of the adhesive film collects and analyses the chemical makeup of droplets of sweat. The watch-facing side turns those chemical signals into electrical ones that can be read, processed and then displayed on the smartwatch.
