Washington, May 17 : ‘Smart bandages’ developed by a Mississippi State University electrical engineering researcher may completely do away with the need to use needles for testing cholesterol, insulin and blood chemistry and may also triple life charges of cell phone batteries.

This next generation of “smart” adhesive bandage is created by Ray Winton, a professor at Mississippi State University, and may add easier way for clinicians to make medical diagnostics.

He said that the bandage could determine internal chemistry and other essential elements of determining critical information without breaking the skin.
