UK startup Toumaz Technology is bringing band-aids into the 21st
century with a new technology that can remotely monitor patients.

The solution involves a custom mini-chip with a 5-7 day battery, with
built-in 800-900MHz wireless and a price as low as $5 a pop when the
disposable patch is released next year.

The chip is designed to relay data from sensors such as
electrocardiogram, a three-axis accelerometer, blood glucose,
ph-level and blood pressure monitors.

Consumers will be able to wear the patch at home, and hopefully a
Lisa Frank version will be soon in the making.
