Chinese scientists develop ‘intellectual suit’
A group of Chinese scientists have developed an ‘intellectual suit’ which are fitted with large-area textile sensors that can detect temperature, ph levels, pressure and other indicators showing the health status of a person.
Beijing: A group of Chinese scientists have developed an ‘intellectual suit’ which are fitted with large-area textile sensors that can detect temperature, ph levels, pressure and other indicators showing the health status of a person.
At the third International Conference on Nanoenergy and Nanosystems in Beijing, Wang Zhonglin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced the invention, reports Xinhua news agency.
The suit, via wireless transmission, can send signals to a cellphone, a computer, or even to a doctor's computer a thousand miles away, so a person's health can be monitored anytime and anywhere, said Wang. This year it focused on topics such as nanogenerators, self-powered sensors and systems, piezotronics, piezophototronics, energy storage and self-charging power systems. Over 700 scientists from more than 30 countries attended the conference that ended on Monday.
Wang also mentioned "nano tattoos". These stickers on the arm, which can be shaped as a pattern much like a tattoo, will be able to administer drugs into a patient's veins, providing a private and painless way of injection for diabetics.
