covid patch

just seen an article online about a welsh company developing a patch for covid which will administer the vaccine and also be able to tell whether you are producing the anti bodies needed. unfortunately it also says it may not be available for another 3 years. sounds like a good idea for AI people

Someone looks very cosy and warm! Cute.

Coco is currently curled up in a tight ball by the side of me. We call it her “croissant” position.

I saw this too. It’s very interesting. Especially their ability to get information from the patch afterwards about the person’s autoimmune response.

Got to love these advances in science. Also good to have positive news from a Welsh university.

Yes, I thought so.

And the similarities with the diabetes patch are good too. It’s just adapting that kind of product to a new medication or vaccine.

My daughter has a school friend who is a Type 1 diabetic and she shows her friends her patch. My daughter is fascinated. But then she loves medical stuff and always watched me having my bloods done etc (well, pre Covid). Good to get young people’s brains ticking about science and product design etc.
