- University of Chicago developed AI skin patch, data will be processed on the body.
- This patch will process data immediately, avoiding serious delays.
- Information processing with patch organic electrochemical transistors.
- Patch helpful in preventing heart diseases and heart attacks.
AI Skin Patch: The need for devices like smartwatches, fitness bands and smart rings to keep an eye on your health data may soon go away. Researchers at the University of Chicago have created a computing patch that looks like skin, which with the help of AI will process the entire data on the body itself. That means it will not send your data to the server like smartwatches and other devices. This patch applied on your skin will process the data at the same time and at the same place as soon as it receives it.
What will be the benefit of AI Skin Patch?
If we talk about smart watch, it can monitor data like heart rate and movement etc., but the entire work of data analysis is done on the server. Sometimes when every moment becomes important, in that situation this delay can become a big problem. In such a situation this patch can save life. It will not require any external server to process the data. Work on this patch has been going on for many years. Researchers want to develop it as an intelligence device that can be directly attached to biological tissue. Initial research revealed that such a device could work with a few transistors, but preparing it for practical use remained a challenge. Now the researcher has overcome this challenge.
How will this patch work?
According to the report, the researcher has used organic electrochemical transistors in this new patch. It works differently from transistors used in computer chips. This device can process information from electric current and movements of ions in the electrolyte layer. Since the electrolyte can store information, each transistor works with its own memory. Although, preparing such a device was a very difficult task, but the researcher has used different methods and given it the form of a device.
Where can it be used?
This device can be used in the treatment of heart diseases. This can prove helpful in preventing sudden electrical activity in the heart. If they are not stopped immediately, these activities can also be fatal. Similarly, it can prove helpful in preventing heart attacks through blood sugar, heart rate and ECG measurements.
