UNSW Researchers Develop Lightweight Patch for Continuous Heart and Breathing Monitoring
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have created a lightweight wearable patch called AusculPatch that adheres to the chest and captures subtle mechanical vibrations from the heart, lungs and blood flow, enabling continuous home monitoring. The 3.2‑gram, 20×47×3 mm device delivers data comparable to ECGs, ultrasounds and blood‑pressure monitors even during movement and in noisy settings. Early tests demonstrate reliable signal capture and the potential for AI‑driven alerts to flag abnormalities before symptoms worsen. The team plans larger clinical trials with up to 1,000 participants, targeting market deployment within four to five years.
