Hong Kong University develops wearable air and medical monitoring system

The Future City Research Institute of the Chinese University of Hong Kong announced three research results on urban air conditions and personalized medical monitoring systems on the 6th, which is expected to provide application solutions for the development of smart city groups in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.

Feng Tong, director of the Hong Kong-China Future Cities Institute, said that the three research results are a plug-and-play air pollution monitoring system for monitoring airborne pollutants, a wearable suspended particulate monitoring system, and monitoring for use. Wearable ECG monitoring system for physical health. All three systems can be connected to a computer or mobile phone to receive visual data and transmit the data to the researcher's server terminal, allowing researchers to integrate and analyze urban big data to promote urban public health and personal health.

According to reports, the shape of the sensor of the plug-and-play air pollution monitoring system is a white rectangular parallelepiped. The user inserts a small module for different test objects to monitor the content of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc. in the air.

The wearable suspended particulate monitoring system's sensor is smaller in size and less than the palm size, and is mainly used to monitor particulate matter in the air. Researchers have allowed some of the students to wear this sensor, which can get the content of PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 in the air of school children going home and going home.

The wearable ECG monitoring system monitors the health of the user's cardiovascular system through a sensor shaped like a watch. After the user wears the "watch", the doctor can remotely understand and analyze the user's electrocardiogram and other information through the network.

Liang Guangxin, deputy director of the institute, said that the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Dawan District market is vast, and the three systems are still in the research and testing stage. I hope to cooperate with other universities in the Greater Bay Area. After the research results are put into commercial use, the product production line will be produced. Moved to other cities in the Greater Bay Area.
