Caption

An integrated "skin electronics" system allows health monitoring at home and gives doctors remote access to biometric data transmitted wirelessly to a medical cloud. It promises to enhance self-care and accessibility of medical information to various segments of the population, including children and the elderly. A thumbs-up image on the skin display serves as an indicator of good health.
