Samsung working on wearable sensor for stroke detection

Hoping to lessen disabilities and casualties caused by strokes, a group of engineers from the Samsung Creativity Lab are working on a wearable sensor to detect strokes and let people know that they need to go in for treatment. Those with stroke symptoms usually put off going to the doctor because they aren’t familiar with the signs. They call the prototype Early Detection Sensor & Algorithm Package. The head-worn sensor can monitor brainwaves via smartphone and tablet and predict the probability of an oncoming stroke. It can even track neurological health, stress, anxiety, and sleep patterns. There is no indication though that the prototype will reach mass production though. It would be good if it will though.
