Asst Prof John Ho from the Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NUS Faculty of Engineering and the Institute for Health Innovation and Technology at NUS led a research team to develop a highly sensitive wireless reader that can monitor health indicators using microsensors that are tiny enough to be injected under the skin. The breakthrough can shift the paradigm in healthcare and be a trailblazer for the future of minimally invasive health monitoring situations.<\/p>\n

They also developed a sensor that is smaller than the tip of a pencil and does not need a battery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
