“Electronic skin” helps monitor health
Japanese scientists have just developed a special health monitoring device called "electronic skin".
The device is an ultra-thin display, just 1 millimeter thick, that can be stuck directly to the human body. It can track vital health data as well as send and receive messages, including emojis.

Professor Takao Someya of the University of Tokyo, the inventor of this device, said that the first benefit of using the device is to help connect doctors with their patients.
Both parties can exchange health status data remotely without having to go directly to the clinic for examination and treatment.
In addition, this device can also remind patients to take medication on time. The device is expected to be on the market within the next 3 years./.
