Successfully attached micro sensor to heart tissue

Japanese scientists have now successfully developed a micro-heart rate sensor that can be attached directly to heart tissue, helping to monitor and control cardiovascular health.

Japanese scientists have now successfully developed a micro-heart rate sensor that can be attached directly to heart tissue, helping to monitor and control cardiovascular health.

The development of technology has opened up the ability to control and monitor all parts of the human body with just a few types of sensors. This not only helps doctors have more information for medical examination but it also helps users to self-conscious to control their health.

Currently, Japanese scientists have invented a kind of micro-heart rate sensor with a friendly biological compound , capable of attaching directly to heart tissue or motor muscles to monitor and provide details. According to scientists from Tokyo University, such direct biosensor sensors will ensure biometric information is always completely accurate, different from external sensors.

The secret to the magic of this type of sensor is a specialized bio-gel , which fixes this micro sensor fixed to a certain location of body tissues, even when muscle tissue that is working, like a heart muscle. This bio-gel is visible to the body, does not cause side effects, and protects sensor circuits.

The size of this sensor is also very small, with a width of about 4mm and less than 1mm thin, it contains up to 144 types of sensors, helping to measure and monitor the precise functioning of tissues, which are primarily aimed at is heart tissue.

These types of endothelial sensors help provide information about the functioning of organs in the body, for medical examination or scientific research purposes. This tiny heart rate sensor has now been successfully tested on rat heart tissue, opening up the potential for organ transplants with higher success rates and ability to monitor health.
