jun 30, 2016 - Interscatter communication

Description:

University of Washington engineers have developed a way to convert Bluetooth signals into WiFi signals so that contact lenses and brain implants can send signals to smartphones. The initial use for this technology could be providing medical information to patients. Researcher Vikram Iyer stated that a contact lens connected with interscatter communication could use the contact lens wearers’ tears to track blood sugar levels, sending notifications to the person’s cell phone when the levels dropped. Diabetics could have immediate notice that they needed treatment. Brain implants could be used to transmit data which might be helpful with people regain movement.
