2)     Pressure Sensor: Blood pressure sensors can be crucial for patients with high blood pressure problems as high bp can lead to heart failures and strokes. It requires continuous monitoring because blood pressure changes every minute. Devices such as wearables with sensors which used pulse wave eliminate the old way of going to the doctor for blood pressure check by giving the accurate reading of the blood pressure.

3)     Sweat Sensor: Sweat sensors are used by many athletes or patients to monitor their body fluid levels as they provide valuable information on sodium level, chloride, glucose, amino acids and potassium which can help in the early diagnosis of the disease like cystic fibrosis. This can be monitored using sensor-enabled wearable devices.

Ambulance with Sensors

Many times patients lose their life while inside an ambulance due to the inadequate support available in the ambulance, also it becomes hard to perform the treatment until the patient arrives at the hospital. This lead to the development of Ambulance Telemetry which sends the measurements and transmits patient’s vital data wirelessly to the doctors at the hospitals or healthcare centers when inside an ambulance. This technology captures data from sensors in the ambulance and sends to medical centers which help to make the decisions related to the treatment to be provided to the patients who are still inside an ambulance. It uses various technologies such as Polycam which are connected to the network lines or TV at the medical centers/ ambulance which continuously monitors the patient’s vital health signs which includes heart rates, pulse rate etc. This helps to get consultations from the doctors at the remote locations to provide proper treatment to the patient.
