On July 27, the Dongguan Digital Human and Smart Sleep Innovation Consortium was officially inaugurated.

Wearable devices have transformed how people track exercise, sleep, heart rate and other vital signs. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) are now exploring whether similar technologies could one day help monitor medicines inside the body. 

What new methods can be used for plants to monitor their health? This is what a recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated using “wearable” technology for plants to monitor their health. This study has the potential to develop new technologies to monitor plant…

“The leaf sensor is more of an early warning system showing how the plant is responding in the moment, before visible signs appear,” said Nafize Hossain. Photo: Courtesy of Nafize Hossain
