Zusammenfassung:Digital sensors already make it possible to monitor blood glucose, heart rhythm, blood pressure, temperature, and sleep.

The newest technologies might help us honour medicine's oldest ideals. © Elenabsl/Dreamstime.com EJT is supported by the US National Institutes of Health/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences grant UL1TR001114
