DGIST announced the development of a new implantable wireless health monitoring electronic suture system for use in orthopedic fields. The system, developed through joint research with Yonsei University and Korea University, aims to address the increasing need for monitoring tissue recovery during rehabilitation. The system functions as a strain sensor and can be easily applied like a regular suture, allowing for long-term stability within the body. The research team successfully tested the system on a porcine Achilles tendon rupture model and published their findings in ACS Nano. This innovative technology paves the way for future healthcare devices and applications in human-embedded healthcare.
