The sensor that controls life

As soon as we do not care about our health, read magazines on traditional medicine, flip through the pages of the cognitive Internet, do a lot of tests, buy drugs in pharmacies, then drink them in handfuls, and meanwhile, scientific technology takes care of us. For a long time, scientists have been trying to come up with a variety of devices to study the dynamics and diagnosis of the body. From blood pressure measurement devices and electronic blood counts, Toshiba Corporation has developed a device for collecting and analyzing data on the vital activity of the body.

The novelty was presented in Tokyo at the symposium Medical ICT 2013. Smart health careIntelligent Monitor Engine & Ecosystem (abbreviated Silmee) has the properties of taking an electrocardiogram, collecting information about a person’s heart rate, temperature and movement. Data is transmitted to a computer or any mobile device wirelessly. Silmee is equipped with a 32-bit ARM processor, Bluetooth module, antenna, battery and various sensors. The device was created for early diagnosis of possible health problems.

Doctors can monitor the results of treatment, and Silmee helps athletes plan the optimal training regimen. The dimensions of the prototype - 25 x 60 mm, weight - 10 g, glued to the patient's body like a patch. We look forward to new developments, because everyone wants to live one day longer, and the question of time in this regard is worth its weight in gold.
