Wearable electronics could potentially detect emerging health problems

Researchers are developing skin-like electronics paired with artificial intelligence that could potentially detect possible emerging health problems. This research was published in Matter in a paper titled "Intrinsically stretchable neuromorphic devices for on-body processing of health data with artificial intelligence." Flexible, wearable electronics are becoming more prevalent, yet they have yet to reach their full potential. Precision medical sensors that are applied to the skin and are intended to perform health monitoring and diagnostics could soon be made possible by this technology. It would be like having a cutting-edge medical facility at your beck and call all the time. Such a device would need to collect and process a vast amount of data, well above what even the best smartwatches can do today. And it would have to do this data crunching with very low power consumption in a very tiny space.
