The "smart stickers" are made of cellulose, which is both biocompatible and breathable. They can be used to monitor physical activity and alert a wearer about possible health risks in real time. These stickers were coated with molecules that repel water, oil, dust, and bacteria. Wearable sensor "smart sticker" can be used to monitor heart patients's health from the comfort of their own homes and can be easily attached to human's skin without getting wet and falling off.

Other health professionals can also benefit from the technology for other medical surveillance. Athletes could also use them to monitor and log their performance during exercise and training including things like swimming.

Heard anywhere about sensors? Yes!! In our four levels, we have studied about IR Sensor, Ultra Sonic Sensor, LDR, PIR Sensor right?
