  • Wearable sensor technologies are essential for personalized medicine through continuous monitoring of an individual's health.

    “Wearable sensor technologies are essential to the realization of personalized medicine through continuously monitoring an individual's state of health1–12.”

    From Fully integrated wearable sensor arrays for multiplexed in situ perspiration analysis (2016) · cites this paper as [1]

    The paper’s Abstract describes skin-integrated sensors for physiological-status monitoring, and its ECG, EMG and EEG demonstrations show that they can measure an individual’s signals. It does not establish that wearable sensors are essential to personalized medicine or demonstrate continuous health monitoring; it notes that long-term use requires further work (Abstract; page unavailable). (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The RAM did not have significant signal drift post 1000 stretching cycles at ≈30% strain.

    “The RAM did not have significant signal drift post 1000 stretching cycles at ≈30% strain.”

    From Wearables in Medicine (2018) · cites this paper as [19]

    The Additional information section (page not specified) reports no resistance degradation in filamentary-serpentine electrodes after 1,000 stretching cycles at 30% tensile strain. It does not identify the tested device as a RAM or report drift in a RAM signal, so those parts of the claim are unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The sensors were used to monitor the tension and compression cycles on a wrist for potential application in detecting tremor frequencies in Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.

    “The sensors were used to monitor the tension and compression cycles on a wrist for potential application in detecting tremor frequencies in Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.19”

    From Wearables in Medicine (2018) · cites this paper as [19]

    The figure material in the S12 section describes devices on a wrist remaining attached as skin is stretched or wrinkled, and the Additional information describes a strain gauge tested under tensile strain. Neither passage reports monitoring tension–compression cycles on a wrist or proposes detecting tremor frequencies in Parkinson’s disease or epilepsy. (LLM, conf=0.78)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • A wearable drug-delivery device featuring silicon nanomembrane strain sensors, a temperature sensor, a resistive random access memory (RAM) array, and electroresistive heaters has been developed.

    “A wearable drug‐delivery device featuring silicon nanomembrane strain sensors, a temperature sensor, a resistive random access memory (RAM) array, and electroresistive heaters has been developed (Figure 2c).19”

    From Wearables in Medicine (2018) · cites this paper as [19]

    The Figure 1 caption (indexed under S12; page unavailable) describes a skin-worn electronic platform with temperature sensors and strain gauges. The paper does not describe it as a drug-delivery device or report a resistive RAM array or electroresistive heaters; its concluding passage says further integration of components remains future work. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Additional advances are needed to meet the challenging requirements of the NICU, where comprehensive, continuous sensing with wireless functionality, clinical-grade measurement fidelity, and mechanical form factors that eliminate risk of harm to exceptionally fragile neonatal skin are essential.

    “Although such systems can support various types of biophysical measurements of physiological health (8–13), additional advances are needed to meet the challenging requirements of the NICU, where comprehensive, continuous sensing with wireless functionality, clinical-grade measurement fidelity, and mechanical form factors that eliminate risk of harm to exceptionally fragile neonatal skin are essent”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
