Hai mangiato o bevuto troppo? Te lo dice un sensore!

sensore che controlla la dieta

Immaginate come sarebbe facile seguire una dieta se ci fosse qualcosa in grado di avvertirci quando stiamo mangiando troppo: sicuramente la nostra linea ne trarrebbe indiscussi benefici! Forse questo sogno potrà diventare realtà: è stato messo a punto un dispositivo che segnala se si è mangiato o bevuto troppo e a settembre verrò presentato in occasione di una conferenza internazionale a Zurigo.

Proprio così: si tratta dell’ultima conquista dell’ingegneria biomedica, ovvero un sensore che si impianta in un dente e che è in grado di avvisare in caso di eccessi alimentari o alcolici. Il dispositivo è stato realizzato dalla National Taiwan University e verrà presentato a settembre in occasione del prossimo International Symposium on Wearable Computers a Zurigo.

Il sensore, che viene inserito nella cavità del dente, e può essere assemblato anche in caso di protesi o dentiere, percepisce i movimenti della mascella e li riconosce: in pratica capisce se si sta bevendo, masticando, fumando o, semplicemente parlando e tossendo, e invia i dati che elabora allo smartphone del medico che sta seguendo quel paziente il quale potrà sempre avere la situazione sotto controllo.

Lo scopo di questo dispositivo è quello di capire se si sta esagerando con cibo, alcool e fumo e, nel caso, far rientrare gli eccessi nei giusti binari di uno stile di vita sano ed equilibrato.

Il dispositivo è alimentato da una batteria esterna che comunica con un piccolo cavo, ma gli scienziati stanno già lavorando all’istallazione di una batteria interna e ricaricabile e a un sistema wireless per trasmettere i dati. Ma perché il sensore verrà applicato proprio a denti? A spiegarlo sono gli stessi ideatori:

La bocca è una porta sulla salute umana e questo sensore orale può potenziare tutte le applicazioni sulla salute, come quelle che monitorano la dieta.

Naturalmente, si tratta ancora di un prototipo, ma la sua affidabilità è già del 94 per cento. Questa invenzione che forse appare un po’ troppo futuristica non deve stupire più di tanto: i progressi nelle cosiddette tecnologie indossabili, ovvero quelle tecnologie ideate per essere indossate dall’uomo, sono sempre più importanti.

  13. The very crux of your writing whilst sounding reasonable in the beginning, did not really sit properly with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for a short while. I still have got a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do nicely to help fill in those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I would definitely end up being impressed.

  16. Throughout this awesome design of things you’ll secure a B+ just for effort and hard work. Where you lost me was first on all the facts. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be much more true right here. Having said that, let me say to you exactly what did work. Your authoring is actually very persuasive and this is most likely the reason why I am making an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, even though I can see the leaps in reason you come up with, I am not sure of just how you seem to unite the points that help to make your conclusion. For the moment I will subscribe to your position but wish in the foreseeable future you link the facts better.
