Engineers at UC San Diego created a wearable ultrasound device for long-term muscle activity tracking, paving the way for advancements in healthcare monitoring.
'By tracking diaphragm activity, the technology could potentially support patients with respiratory conditions and those reliant on mechanical ventilation,' said Joseph Wang, a distinguished professor.
This wearable ultrasound technology may offer a promising new alternative to the current clinical standard, electromyography, which suffers from low resolution and weak signals.
Ultrasound provides high-resolution imaging by penetrating deep tissues, offering detailed insights into muscle function, unlike traditional methods that fail to isolate muscle fiber contributions.
