The field of healthcare and medicine is one of those realms that has witnessed an exponential pace in technological and medicinal breakthroughs and with numerous brilliant minds at work, the future of this industry looks to be quite bright. Now, the German research institute Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM has announced a remarkable achievement in bio sensing technology where in the scientist have been able to create a biotech sensor wristband that, would could warn people about potential hazards before the users are exposed to them. For example, this unique device can scan the body report any risk of blood clots in legs, before users venture on a long flight.

This bio tech sensor wristband has been designed and developed, especially for air travelers who are at much risk of thromboses, wherein the patients suffer from occlusions of veins caused by blood clots, that can even lead to near fatal conditions such as, heart attacks. The procedure getting an accurate analysis of your physical flying condition is very simple. All you have to do is to deposit a single drop of blood to the measuring device, that will then analyze the sample and provide you with a forewarning if it sees one. This is also very much an essential carry on for those passengers, who have pacemakers installed in the their chests, as the device is more than capable of warning them of the presence of an electrical smog that could in turn prove fatal for people with heart conditions.

The production of these cutting edge bio tech sensor wristbands are envisioned to be conducted on reels and sheets and thus the scientists state that, the production costs would become so inexpensive, that the users would be able to use them as one time disposable items.
