Chicago develops a new Covid-19 device which tracks symptoms.
A new device developed in Chicago can track symptoms of coronavirus. The device senses the nature, duration and time of coughs, checking for the onset and progression of Covid-19. It looks like a Band-Aid but it has a flexible wire-less sensor that sits where your throat and chest meet, picking up coughing and breathing problems associated with Covid-19. The device can monitor early signs of coronavirus infection and the progression of the illness. The device adhered to the skin below one’s suprasternal notch. The patch also detects heart rate and temperature
