Tooth mounted food sensor is ready to monitor your daily diet chart

Are you very much conscious about your health? Having a diet routine, but there is no time to maintain it. So leave this duty on a tiny Tooth mounted food sensor which has been invented by the group of engineers at Tufts University, this sensor will maintain your daily diet routine.

This tiny sensor can be fixed on your tooth very easily, which have dimensions 2 mm by 2 mm. It will provide you with the accurate data about the daily intake of salt, glucose and even alcohol, the best thing about this sensor is that it tracks in real time i.e. while you are eating your food. This new tiny sensor has three layered:- 1) The central or innermost layer which is also called "Bio-responsive" layer it absorbs the various type of nutrient salts and chemicals. 2) Other two layers are called the outside layer which consists of a square shaped gold ring. It has the ability to absorb the nutrient and change its colour after that it transmits back the radio-waves.

So, we can conclude that this tiny sensor's innermost layer absorbs salt which alters the electrical properties, this alteration accelerates the sensor to absorb the nutrient which results in the change in colour and transmit the radio frequency waves wirelessly to use the mobile phone.

Though it was not for the first time for the invention of tooth mounted sensor, the previously invented sensor does not provide the greater accuracy and also it is very much difficult to mount on teeth due to its bulkiness.
