Science Nation: Wearable Sensors to Monitor Triggers for Asthma, and More

Closeup of a circuit board. Caption: The same platform can be used to monitor the environment.

The Nanosystems Engineering Research Center (NERC) for Advanced Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) at North Carolina State University is developing technology that will alert someone when air pollution is about to take its toll on their heart and lungs. ASSIST Director Veena Misra and her multidisciplinary team are using nanotechnology to develop small, wearable sensors that monitor a person’s immediate environment, as well as the wearer’s vital signs. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
