The BeFC digital healthcare patch improves patient outcomes via a non-invasive monitoring technology that is comfortable, safe, and interoperable. The flat, compact patch can be worn by everyone from infants to the elderly. Based on a disruptive energy source and revolutionary printed electronics, the patch can be used to remotely follow vital signs including ECG, pH, glucose, sodium and more, as well as monitor patients on-site (geofencing).
The benefits of this game-changing technology are significant. The automatization of healthcare protocols, using sensors that not only detect, but communicate data remotely, benefit patients, medical practitioners and healthcare providers alike – increasing patient engagement and decreasing practionner workload and healthcare costs. Remote wound sensing is now possible through the possibility of a “connected-bandage”, a dressing that will relay key medical variables communicating key changes to wound healing status. The patch can even be used to monitor the location of patients at risk, in real-time. And it can do all of this sustainably.
Powered by the biofuel cell, BeFC’s modular active electronic tag generates real-time data:
Transmits data (temperature, moisture, pH, glucose, Sodium etc.) for subsequent analysis .
BeFC has developed the world’s first and only paper-based biofuel cell. Its distinctive features include:
%202.webp)
Disease prevention: facilitate the management of chronic diseases including diabetes, wound care and metabolic disorders
Early diagnosis: analysis of specific, multiple variables to identify disease onset
Remote healthcare : Exploiting telemetry-based wearables/dressings and more to monitor and manage chronic conditions
Health equity: Leverage cutting-edge technology to open up access to healthcare to underserved or difficult to access territories
Monitor temperature data critical to patient welfare.
PH analysis: Monitor acidity - a key indicative parameter for wound healing.
Diabetes indicator: Glucose levels range from 1.1–5.9 mM for healing. Monitor blood glucose concentration.
Analysis of Sodium indicates wound healing status (open or closed wound).
Monitor moisture: Generate important data on wound moisture and track wound healing properties

Our patented paper biofuel cell uses a biochemical reaction to generate electricity. The inspiration for this organic electrochemical process owes its origins to human physiology.
It centers on a a clean energy source that uses the power of enzymes to convert oxygen and glucose into electricity.
Predominantly made of paper and carbon,the BeFC cell can be recycled and even composted industrially.
