Researchers in Japan have developed multiple smart patches to monitor vital signs, aiming to enable advanced detection of diseases. These patches have been integrated into a flexible substrate and combined with Bluetooth technology for connection to smart devices. The team tested the sensor patches on three subjects to observe physiological changes under different temperature degrees. A program was developed for edge computing to detect arrhythmias, coughing, and falls using machine learning techniques. Designed sensors monitor cardiac activity via electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, skin temperature, and sweat moisture. This system continuously tracks the body’s condition via smart devices, allowing for rapid intervention before the symptoms worsen. The study's lead, Dr. Kuniya Takey, indicated an accuracy rate exceeding 80% in predicting health situations such as arrhythmias, coughing, and falls using smart technology. He concluded by stating: 'Vital signs monitoring remotely via smart devices allows advanced detection of disease symptoms thanks to the integration of flexible sensors with advanced technologies in data analysis.'
