The stretchable electronic sensor is precise enough for use in advanced medical care and portable enough to be worn outside the hospital, even during strenuous exercise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traditional tools used to monitor patients\u2019 speech function such as microphones cannot differentiate between ambient noise and a patient\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Engineering professor John A. Rogers, PhD, says, \u201cOur sensors solve that problem by measuring <strong>vibrations of the vocal chords<\/strong>,\u201d Rogers said. \u201cBut they only work when worn directly on the throat, which is a very sensitive area of the skin. We developed novel materials for this sensor that<strong> bend and stretch with the body<\/strong>, minimising discomfort to patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The device can<strong> measure their swallowing ability<\/strong> and <strong>help in diagnosing and treating aphasia<\/strong>, a communication disorder associated with stroke and can be used in conjunction with electronic biosensors on the legs, arms and chest to monitor stroke patients\u2019 recovery progress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Patients can wear them after they leave the hospital so that doctors can see how they<strong> function in the real world<\/strong> as the data can be streamed wirelessly to clinicians\u2019 phones and computers, <strong>providing real time, full-body picture of patients<\/strong>\u2019 advanced physical and physiological responses. This way they can help patients <strong>speed up the recovery process<\/strong> by improving their speaking skills and enable them to intervene at the right time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:1200px;max-height:600px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lmzHmWHbTRk?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;margin-bottom:20px;\"><\/div><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;\">References<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;\">Northwestern Now.
