Inspired by a disposable “smart bandage” concept for monitoring the healing progress of a wound, the NFC Sensor System is a proof of concept that a small, ultra-low powered device can wirelessly transmit sensor data to a host device. Using the Texas Instruments MSP430, the system is able to read temperature and light data and transmit the values to the Altera DE0 where they can be packaged and sent to the host Android device for viewing and logging.
