NFC powered ultra-thin health monitoring patch
Powering wearables for efficient, long term, continuous, use remains a challenge. Illinois professor John Rogers has, again, disrupted himself. His new, stretchable, ultra-thin, health monitoring patches are wirelessly powered via smartphone near field communication. This enables the devices to be 5-10 times thinner than before — increasing comfort and therefore the willingness of people to wear…

Sensor patch, app, quantify sun exposure
MC10 has partnered with L’Oreal to develop MyUV Patch, a small, flexible adhesive patch that uses MC10’s advanced sensors to determine sun exposure. Photosensitive dyes incorporate skin tone into the equation, and change colors as UV exposure increases. Users upload photos of the changing patch to an app that determines exposure levels. Last year ApplySci described…
