Health 2.0: iPhone Sensor by NASA Ames Research Center

A Dream or a Nightmare?

Just an iPhone and a small Chemical Sensor to read your Health status… it’s so interesting and awesome!

Jing Li, a physical scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., along with other researchers working under the Cell-All program in the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate, developed a proof of concept of new technology that would bring compact, low-cost, low-power, high-speed nanosensor-based chemical sensing capabilities to cell phones.

The device Li developed is about the size of a postage stamp and is designed to be plugged in to an iPhone to collect, process and transmit sensor data.
