Currently, the team is working on connecting the sticker\u2019s live image feed to a smartphone app via an AI, according to\u00a0<em>The Daily Mail<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sticker could also potentially monitor cancer patients\u2019 tumours, allowing for earlier diagnoses and treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of now, viewing the inside of one\u2019s body requires getting an ultrasound. However, this method calls for large, expensive equipment, and must be done in a doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, ultrasounds currently involve gel, which can dry out quickly, meaning doctors cannot analyse organs for a large amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new stickers, according to the MIT engineers, will contain gel in an air barrier, allowing for longer usage \u2013 up to 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Professor Xuanhe Zhao, a mechanical engineer at MIT who was a part of the group, this new device has \u201copened a new era of wearable imaging.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mishaal Arshad C.M Underground News A new wearable sticker-like tool which could allow pregnant women to watch their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[76,71,101,34],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-16602","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-important-news","8":"category-latest-news","9":"category-science-and-technology","10":"category-world","11":"cs-entry","12":"cs-video-wrap"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16602"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16602\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16607,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16602\/revisions\/16607"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
