ICFO Showcases Graphene-Based Wearables at MWC 2019
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 25, 2019 — A new device from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) will allow users to monitor their level of exposure to sunlight through a UV sensor. Designed as a flexible, transparent, disposable patch, it connects to a mobile device and alerts the user once he or she has reached a defined threshold of sun exposure. Using the same core technology as the UV patch, ICFO is developing a fitness band to measure heart rate, hydration, oxygen saturation, breathing rate, and temperature.
