A smart sensor for muscles and tissues provide real-time insights

Engineers at Duke University have developed a wireless patch that can noninvasively measure skin and tissue stiffness at depths of up to a couple of inches. Already smaller than a smartwatch, the device could be a gateway into a wide array of medical applications such as the monitoring of wound healing, chronic conditions like skin cancer, fluid management during resuscitation efforts and muscle rehabilitation.
