Wearable Device for Continuous Monitoring and Intelligent Intervening of Targeted Body Region
Traditional treatment for arthritis and other forms of localized inflammation requires the use of an ice pack. For those who suffer from arthritis, accessibility to a cold pack is limited by the need for constant refrigeration. Moreover, physicians do not have a method to continually monitor localized patient inflammation, and this hampers the treatment...

Wireless Wearable fNIR Sensor
Since the initial discovery in 1977 that brain tissue transparency to NIR (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) light allowed a non-invasive and continuous method of measuring tissue oxygen saturation using transillumination in neonates, a number of applications to non-invasively measure blood oxygenation in muscle and the circulatory system have been developed....

Portable and inexpensive smart ring that measures
body composition over time.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method of measuring body fatb in relation to lean body mass. BIA determines the bioelectrical impedance, or opposition to the flow of an electric current through body tissues which can then be used to estimate body fat based on total body water and fat-free mass. During BIA, a very low-level electrical current...
