Wearable Sensor, COVID-19 Cough and Vocalization Monitoring Sensor
This is a Wearable Sensor. It was designed by John Rogers. It is dated 2017–21 and we acquired it in 2021. Its medium is silicone, electronics. It is a part of the department.
John A. Rogers, a physical chemist and materials scientist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, creates medical-grade wearable devices. These devices can be applied to optimal parts of the body (unlike a wristwatch) and can be used to track a wide range of body processes. Sensors designed to monitor COVID-19 track coughing, vocalization, and temperature.
It is credited Gift of John A. Rogers.
Its dimensions are
L x W x D: 5.1 × 2.5 × 0.3 cm (2 in. × 1 in. × 1/8 in.)
