Tattoos for Diagnosis of VITAL Medical parameters

Researchers say they’re designing patch-like devices to wirelessly transmit information about a person’s vital health statistics, potentially freeing patients from the wires and sticky electrodes of electroencephalograms (EEGs) and electrocardiogram (EKGs).

The devices, currently envisioned to be more like a temporary tattoo than a medical patch, could conceivably measure heart activity and brain waves, said John Rogers, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who spoke about the new research at a conference this week.

“The big benefit would be the ability to continuously monitor health and wellness,” Rogers said. “There’s a lot of interest in personalized medicine and the quantified self, and hardware is key.”

LIST OF ALL THE US UNIVERSITIES WHICH OFFER MS/PhD BIOMEDICAL PROGRAM

Biomedical Engineering is emerging very fast these days, this exponential increase in the Biomedical Engineering students has comprehensively increased the number of students who plan to go abroad for pursuing their further studies in Biomedical Engineering . This document below offers the list of all U.S universities which have a Biomedical Engineering in the form of Master’s course or doctrate course as Phd.

Do have a look at it and tell me the review about the list, so that it can be edited further for purposeful use
