Australian scientists They are working to create a unique sensor made of such sensitive gold wires, it can be compared with the human skin. As expected, These sensors will be able to regularly monitor blood pressure and heartbeat.
measuring blood pressure
Researchers at Monash University developed a small-size sensor patch which, in case necessary, can be made larger. It uses specially sensitive wire no thicker than human skin capable mode real-time
measure your blood pressure and pulse. According to the author's development Venlonga Dr. Cheng, This sensor has a great potential to become a means of monitoring human health in any place and at any time.
"We have created sensors are flexible and at the same time they are strong, that our tests - says Dr. Cheng. - With their help, you can easily monitor the pulse, heartbeat, measuring blood pressure , what It may be particularly valuable in preventing the care of the elderly at home. We chose the finest gold wire to create a sensor in two nanometers thick (a nanometer - one billionth of a meter). "
Flexibility and Simultaneous the strength of the sensor you can use it in all circumstances, including exercise or sleep. If necessary, sensors can be coupled to any signaling devices to report to the owner, or people who look after his health, the dangerous pressure increase, or changes in heart rhythm. The signal may be sent over the air by mobile. Also, blood pressure can be fixed in for a few days or weeks, which will allow the doctor to view the state of health of the patient over time.
