MEDBOX
What the source says
MEDBOX has a 3D-printed hard plastic casing with two compartments. The first has a sensor to test blood oxygen level, heart beat and body temperature, measuring it against a person’s age and weight. The second compartment houses the MEDBOX circuitry and microprocessor, which collects data and transmits it to an online dashboard via GSM phone networks (global system for mobile communication). Medication can also be stored in the device. All data is collected by the patient placing their finger against the sensor, which includes an object detector to initiate the real time data transfer.
