Medical Monitor the Size of a Postage Stamp

Medical Vital-Sign Monitoring Reduced to the Size of a Postage Stamp.  Science Daily.  November 15, 2012.

This new device, now ready for clinical trials, has possible applications duplicating some components of EKG, an EEG, and devices used for the recording of physical activity.  Developed by electrical engineers at Oregon State University, the new technology could install sensors on bandages, be manufactured in high volumes, and cost less than a quarter.  No battery is required since the technology harvests energy from nearby devices such as a cell phone.
