A Dutch research centre has developed a wireless monitor that allows your organs to send alerts to your mobile phone.
The electrocardiogram-sensor system - called the Body Area Network (BAN) - sends information about your heart's performance, brain and muscle activities to your phone, nanoelectronic research institute Imec said this week.
The data is then processed and sent over the internet to your doctors...
