‘Lab-on-a-glove’ Could Bring Nerve-agent Detection to a Wearer’s Fingertips

March 23, 2017

Researchers have developed a wearable, flexible biosensor glove that can rapidly detect toxic nerve agents with the touch of a finger. The so-called “lab-on-a-glove” could help improve both defense and food security measures. The team, led by nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego, published their work this month…

Opioid treatment tracking startup celebrates string of successes

April 27, 2022

CARI Health, a startup in the Institute for the Global Entrepreneur’s MedTech Accelerator, was named a Connect “Cool Company” on the heels of winning the $300,000 grand prize at the San Diego Angel Conference.

These Screen-printed, Flexible Sensors Allow Earbuds to Record Brain Activity and Exercise Levels

September 28, 2023

A pair of earbuds can be turned into a tool to record the electrical activity of the brain as well as levels of lactate in the body with the addition of two flexible sensors screen-printed onto a stamp-like flexible surface.

Creating an Early Alert System for COVID-19

April 2, 2020

…Researchers combine power of wearable device and big data analytics to track spread and early signs of infection—including among healthcare workers To better understand early signs of coronavirus and the virus’ spread, physicians around the country and data scientists at UC San Diego are working together to use a wearable…

Breakthrough Enables Battery-free Smart Tag Technology

February 21, 2023

Imagine you can open your fridge, open an app on your phone and immediately know which items are expiring within a few days. This is one of the applications that a new technology developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego would enable.

Women Produce Skin Temperature Data that are Just as Predictable as Men

November 9, 2023

Women produce physiological data that is just as predictable as men, at least when it comes to skin temperature. This might seem like common sense, but variations in body signals due to menstrual cycles, such as temperature, were used as an excuse to keep women out of clinical studies for…

Standalone Sweat Sensor from UC San Diego Provides Immediate Readout

October 6, 2022

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a thin, flexible and stretchy sweat sensor that can show the level of glucose, lactate, sodium, or pH of your sweat, as soon as a press of the finger without being connected to any external device.

Temporary Tattoo Offers Needle-Free Way to Monitor Glucose Levels

January 14, 2015

…skin cells. This first-ever example of the flexible, easy-to-wear device could be a promising step forward in noninvasive glucose testing for patients with diabetes.

Soft Skin Patch Could Provide Early Warning for Strokes, Heart Attacks

July 22, 2021

…flow through vessels deep inside the body. Such a device can make it easier to detect cardiovascular problems, like blockages in the arteries that could lead to strokes or heart attacks.

Nanoengineers Develop Basis for Electronics That Stretch at the Molecular Level

May 7, 2014

…a new generation of wearable sensors and other mobile electronic devices. But these flexible electronics, in which very thin semiconductor materials are applied to a thin, flexible substrate in wavy patterns and then applied to a deformable surface such as skin or fabric, are still built around hard composite materials…
