Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed an electronic skin patch with an integrated LED display that can measure vital signs and take electrocardiograms in real-time. It could prove useful for emergency prevention: readings can be sent to either a cloud or memory device for assessment.



Thanks to advances in semiconductor technology, wearable devices can now monitor health by first measuring vital signs or taking an electrocardiogram, and then transmitting the data wirelessly to a smartphone. The readings or electrocardiogram waveforms can be displayed on the screen in real time, or sent to either the cloud or a memory device where the information is stored.
