Engineers Take First Step Toward Flexible, Wearable, Tricoder-Like Device

Science & Environment

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed the first flexible wearable device capable of monitoring both biochemical and electric signals in the human body. The Chem-Phys patch records electrocardiogram (EKG) heart signals and tracks levels of lactate, a biochemical that is a marker of physical effort, in real time. The device can be worn on the chest and communicates wirelessly with a smartphone, smart watch or laptop. It could have a wide range of applications, from athletes monitoring their workouts to physicians monitoring patients with heart disease.

The National Microbiome Initiative is one of many large-scale global and national research programs that UC San Diego has played a key role in developing. Two months before the historic climate negotiations held in December in Paris, for example, a smaller group of climate experts and politicians gathered at Scripps Institution of Oceanography to recommend ways to slow the growth of rapidly rising greenhouse gases. UC San Diego faculty also played a central role three years ago in developing President Obama's BRAIN Initiative
