By Ben Coxworth July 23, 2021 The patch is worn on the neck or chest nature Biomedical Engineering It goes without saying that the earlier someone can be warned of an impending heart attack or stroke, the better. A new skin patch could provide such warnings, by sending ultrasound pulses into the wearer’s body. Building...
The patch works even when twisted Regular ultrasound probes have flat bases, which means they only work best when scanning objects that have similarly-flat surfaces. So, what happens if you want to inspect something that’s curved or otherwise “irregular” in shape? Well, that’s where a new ultrasound patch comes in. Designed by a team...
