• Resumen

  • A project called Bioscope is building a bandage-like system that monitors a hospital patient's temperature, heart rate, movement and bodily noises, and transmits that data wirelessly to a computer that tracks their health. Bioscope was developed by an alliance of nurses, engineers and computer scientists at the National Taiwan University in Taipei. The system allows various sensors to be stacked on top of the bandage, depending on which vital signs need to be monitored. The team's goal is to allow basic diagnoses to be made remotely using the data collected, as well as monitoring people after they leave the hospital.
