McKnight’s Senior Living May 24, 2023
Artificial intelligence is making a huge impact in the senior living space, as the technology is being used to keep residents safe and improve their overall health. Now, researchers have created a new wearable patch that harnesses AI and nanotechnology to monitor seniors’ health via biometrics.
Monash University engineering and IT researchers are testing a thin, wearable patch that monitors 11 human health signals. These include speech, neck movement and touch, plus breathing and heart rates. The patch uses a frequency and amplitude-based neural network called Deep Hybrid-Spectro, which automatically monitors biometrics.The patch had a 93% accuracy rate in monitoring these health signals, researchers found.
Other such health monitoring patches on the market include a wearable patch from Australian medtech...
