Wearable human-machine interfaces (HMI) devices can collect and store important health information about the wearer.
They have benefited from advances in electronics, materials and mechanical designs. But current models still can be bulky and uncomfortable, and they can’t always handle multiple functions at one time.
Researchers from Houston University have discovered a multifunctional ultra-thin wearable electronic device that is unnotic
The device allows the wearer to move naturally and is less noticeable than wearing a Band-Aid.
It has the potential to work as a prosthetic skin for a robotic hand or other robotic devices, with a robust human-machine interface that allows it to automatically collect information and relay it back to the wearer.
