Article Excerpt: Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering have developed a wearable sensor, placed on a tooth, to monitor what patients eat by collecting data on glucose, salt and alcohol intake. A study examining the development of the sensor is set to be published in Advanced Materials. Monitoring what patients eat in real time is currently limited to patients wearing either a mouthguard or wiring in the mouth, or the frequent replacement of sensors. The Tufts sensor is mounted directly on the surface of a tooth and paired wirelessly with a mobile device to provide researchers with data for clinical studies on the effect certain intakes have on the body.
