Scientists say they have developed ultra-thin electronic "skin" that can measure oxygen levels when stuck to the body. 체내 산소를 측정할 수 있는 부착형 극미세 전자 "피부"을 과학자들이 개발했다.

The goal is to develop such "skin" to monitor oxygen levels in organs during surgery, say researchers in Japan. 수술 중 기관 내 산소량을 측정할 수 있는 "피부"를 개발하는 것이 목포였다.

Tests on volunteers found the "skin" provided stable measurements of oxygen concentration in blood. (oxygen concentration: 산소농도) 혈액내 산소농도의 안정적 측정에 큰 도움을 줌.

The device contains micro-electronic components that light up in red, blue and green on the surface of the body.

Scientists at the University of Tokyo are working on ways to display numbers and letters on the skin for health monitoring purposes.

Wearable electronics are a future growth area in research, with interest in medical applications such as contact lenses that monitor glucose levels, or smart glasses.

The latest findings are revealed in Science Advances.

"The device unobtrusively measures the oxygen concentration of blood when laminated on a finger," said lead researcher Tomoyuki Yokota and colleagues. (unobtrusively: 드러나지 않게, 은밀히) (laminate: 입히다)

He added: "Ultimately, flexible organic optical sensors may be directly laminated on organs to monitor the blood oxygen level during and after surgery." (optical: 시각의) 본 연구의 궁극적인 목표는 기관에 신축성 있고 유기체와 연관된 시각 센서를 몸에 부착하여 수술 시 그리고 수술 후 혈액 내 산소농도를 직접 감시 관찰하는 것.
