Sticky birth monitor

This is a utility developed by a team of researchers from Imperial College London (UK). This digital device is as compact as a piece of tape on the skin, constantly measuring the patient's functions such as heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, temperature.

According to Professor Chris Toumazou, when patients admitted to the hospital without surgery, has not been identified as an emergency, every four hours to be monitored once. This process is not perfect because bad things can happen at any time. Therefore, a digital patch that continuously monitors the patient's biopsy will help clinicians quickly recognize abnormal signals and have appropriate treatment to prevent complications.

Data collected through the patch on the patient's body is transmitted to a wall-mounted receiver close to the patient's bed and then to the on-call physician's office. This device also offers the option of tracking only a few specific birthmarks such as heart rate, breathing ... of some particular cases. When reading the abnormal signals it will quickly give a warning.

Monitoring equipment was tested at St Mary's Hospital in London on 50 patients who were either surgically or non-emergency. The efficiency of the new device is compared to the popular MP 30 with direct tracking. Accordingly, the patch data is collected accurately but very dynamically, which makes it easier for medical staff to follow. In addition, the cost of digital patches of this type is also very cheap because less than 35 pounds compared to the MP 30 cost thousands of pounds but cumbersome.

Dr. Kahmal Ahmed, one of the scientists who participated in the trial, said the biopsy patch helped patients better than traditional machines, especially before and after surgery.

According to the Daily Mail, this digital birth control sticker has been approved by the authorities for use in the United States and the United Kingdom.
