ICFO’s fitness band tagged posts

Graphene-based Wearables for Health Monitoring, Food Inspection and Night Vision

Graphene-enabled fitness band measures heart rate, hydration, oxygen saturation, breathing rate and temperature. The technology will be showcased at MWC19.

Scientists have developed dozens of new graphene-based prototypes. These technologies aim to turn mobile phones into life saving devices. The first of ICFO’s devices on display will allow customers to monitor their level of exposure to sunlight through a UV sensor. Designed as a flexible, transparent and disposable patch, it connects to a mobile device and alerts the user once he or she has reached a defined threshold of sun exposure.

Using the same core technology as the UV patch, ICFO’s fitness band is being developed to measure heart rate, hydration, oxygen saturation, breathing rate and temperature, while monitoring the use...
