A Smart Sensor Patch to Detect Health Symptoms

Wearable sensors are devices that can be worn on the body and measure the state of the body. They are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) and show great promise for monitoring health. These sensors generate large amounts of data, and that data must be processed to be understood. The field of computing dealing with processing these data on the sensor or a device that the sensor is connected to — rather than at a remote server on the cloud — is called edge computing. Edge computing is a key element in wearable sensor technology.
