Researchers are making significant advancements in wearable medical technology. Scientists have developed ultra-thin semiconductor fibers that can be woven into fabrics, transforming ordinary textiles into smart electronics. A new generation of smart bandages is being tested, which could decrease scarring, speed up healing with a zap of light or electricity, and allow doctors to remotely monitor wounds. MIT engineers have found a way to eliminate scar tissue buildup around implantable devices by coating them with a hydrogel adhesive. Additionally, Penn State researchers have developed a rewritable, recyclable 'smart skin' that monitors biological signals on demand, such as glucose levels and heart rate. Researchers also created a medical wearable out of a pencil and paper, and diabetes patients could benefit from high-tech bandages that monitor healing and dispense tiny doses of medicine.
