By wearing a band aid-like device like the one pictured at the top of the page, it means that companies can find out the condition of the skin at certain points and develop products that specifically target certain issues.
“Developments in wireless technology will provide a path to continuous monitoring of skin properties and function using these concepts,” says the research team.
