Technology has something for everything these days, now even disease monitoring. A wearable vapor sensor that is currently under development at the University of Michigan might just offer disease monitoring continuously for patients who have diabetes, lung disease, anemia and high blood pressure. The market for wearable technology itself is exploding and expected to go up to $14 billion by the next four years or so.
The sensor will be able to detect chemicals that are airborne, from either being released through the skin or exhaled from the lungs, and will most likely be one of the first, if not the only, piece of wearable technology that will be able to pick up on a broad array of not physical, but chemical attributes. The researchers at the University of Michigan are working together with the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps program for the purpose of moving the gadget out of the labs and into the market.
When it comes to wearable technology, everything that could ever be done, is about to get done. Technology has come a long way, from the first ever computer all the way to a piece of technology that can be worn to monitor someone who has issues with their diabetes. The world we live in is truly extraordinary, and technology has yet to slow down.
