UCCollege of Engineering and Applied Science assistant professor Yeongkin Kim and his colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a new device to monitor a patient's health over hours or days.

The device can help monitor conditions such as heart disease, depression or diabetes.

"Our sensors are very stretchy and flexible. The shape is really like a Band-Aid," Kim told Local 12. "The sensor can be used to monitor the stress levels of patients for a long period of time."

Kim and his co-authors presented the new device in the journal Science. The article publication represented the culmination of more than two years of research.
