Remote Monitoring using Wearables & Sensors

Wearable devices, sensors, and remote monitoring technologies are being used to track key health indicators between clinical visits. Data on sleep, physical activity, and vital signs keep care teams informed and help them tailor treatment in real time.

Wearable and ingestible bioelectronic systems are revolutionizing how digital technologies interact with our bodies. By combining advanced materials, mechanics, and wireless capabilities, these systems can now achieve far better integration with the human body, enabling digital-based health monitoring and therapeutic strategies that were previously impossible. For instance, we are developing systems capable of undergoing significant mechanical deformations to seamlessly accommodate the human body, creating transient electronic systems that can be reabsorbed over clinically relevant timeframes, and utilizing advanced computational models to optimize the design and fabrication of bioelectronics. Ultimately, we aim to develop wearable, implantable, and ingestible electronics that can address unmet clinical needs.

Advanced biosensors and their integration into point-of-care handheld, wearable, and implantable digital devices are revolutionizing health and fitness by offering real-time monitoring and data-driven insights into an individual’s physiological and biochemical state. We are developing technologies that offer unprecedented health insights with comfortable, unobtrusive, and accessible devices. We are thus investigating fundamental technologies, including flexible and long-term bio/chemical/electrical sensors, and miniaturized, low-power (and self-powered) electronics for collecting, processing, and transmitting sensor data. We are further integrating these novel technologies into practical systems to conduct clinically relevant evaluations and translational studies.
