This is the new wearable sensor patch being developed by a joint research team in Japan and one day it could save your life. The patch measures cardiac activity via electrocardiogram or ECG, respiration, skin temperature, and humidity caused by perspiration all to provide an early warning for potentially life-threatening conditions.

00:00This is the new wearable sensor patch being developed by a joint research team in Japan,
00:09and one day it could save your life.
00:11The patch measures cardiac activity via electrocardiogram or ECG.
00:15It also measures respiration, skin temperature, and humidity caused by perspiration.
00:20It then sends all of that live data to a smartphone via Bluetooth, which its developers say could
00:25eventually be an early warning system for symptoms related to a number of conditions.
00:29The patch simply sticks to the skin and goes hand-in-hand with a smartphone app.
00:33The researchers say that the associated machine learning program will continue to get better
00:37and be updated as the device is more widely used.
00:40They add that the app can identify the early signs of heat stress at the moment, with their
00:44study identifying the condition with 80% accuracy.
00:47However, the researchers say it will eventually be able to detect much, much more.
00:51They are currently working on predicting heart arrhythmia, coughing, and to identify falls
00:55which could leave the user unconscious.
00:57One of the project's lead researchers saying, the significant advance of this study is the
01:01integration of multimodal flexible sensors, real-time machine learning data analysis,
01:06and remote vital monitoring using a smartphone.
