Behrad Khamesee and team develop new sensor that could help doctors monitor patient progress from a distance

A self-powered sensor developed by Behrad Khamesee and team of researchers at the University of Waterloo and University of Toronto, could allow doctors to remotely monitor the recovery of surgical patients.

The small, tube-like device is designed to be fitted to braces after joint surgery to wirelessly send information to computers, smartphones or smartwatches to track range of motion and other indicators of improvement.
