TUCSON, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - Engineers at the University of Arizona have created a new medical tech that can help detect disease and deterioration in older adults. It’s a wearable device, but it’s much smaller than a watch or a fitness tracker.

The wearable medical device is smaller than a dime and is far more accurate than any fitness tracker that sits on your wrist or in your pocket.

“The vision for the device is ultimately, you put this on, and we can detect what’s wrong with you,” said biomedical engineer Philipp Gutruf, who leads the project. The team starts by doing a body scan of a patient. From there, they 3D print a mesh band to hold the device in place.
