MIT-led team receives funding to develop a wearable monitor for early disease detection

MIT researchers will lead a four-year, up to $38 million project, funded by the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), aimed at developing a noninvasive, wearable patch that continually monitors biomarkers of heart disease and sepsis.The project is called PYTHIA, which stands for “predictive platform for physiological and therapeutic health intervention and adaptive management.”According to the project plan, the patch, which will capture clinical-grade health information in real time, will be powered by heat from the patient’s body. It could provide essential information to help clinicians diagnose heart failure…
