Multi-Tasking Wearable Continuously Monitors Glucose, Alcohol, and Lactate

Imagine being able to measure your blood sugar levels, know if you’ve had too much to drink, and track your muscle fatigue during a workout, all in one small device worn on your skin. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a prototype of such a wearable that can continuously monitor several health stats—glucose, alcohol, and lactate levels—simultaneously in real-time.

Privacy-preserving camera captures only the objects you want

Energy-efficient AI imaging technology developed by UCLA engineers works before a photo is snapped. In the diagrammatic example, the camera’s diffractive layers (colored surfaces in the middle) were custom-designed to recognize the handwritten number “2” but diffract light from other numbers, turning it into background noise.
