Abstract:

An ultra-thin wearable sensing device includes a sensor tag IC that enables the device to communicate wirelessly to a reading device. The wearable sensing device includes one or more sensors connected to the sensor tag IC that sense characteristics of the person, animal or object that the sensing device comes in contact with. The sensed characteristics can include biological signals (e.g., ECG, EMG, and EEG), temperature, galvanic skin response (GSR), heat flux and chemicals or fluids released by the skin. The reading device can display the information to the user and/or transmit the sensor data to a remote location for further processing. A doctor can review the data or have the data further analyzed and use this data or information to assist with treatment.
