Sensors made from carbon nanotubes could offer a superior alternative to current activity tracking technology. Devices developed at the University of California, San Diego, are flexible enough to bend within layers of fabric, and can track specific types of motion as well as recording vital signs such as temperature and heart rate. These developments are promising for real-time monitoring of patients living at home, through telemedicine and those working in extreme environments, like astronauts in space…….
