"Suh’s group demonstrated their device's resolution by using an 8-by-5 
centimetre sensor network made up of 64 pixels to track the meandering 
of two ladybirds along its surface. They also recorded the path of a 
bouncing water droplet and showed that the sensor sheets could measure 
someone’s pulse when strapped to his or her wrist. Suh says that his 
group is now talking to a health-care company about developing heart 
monitors using his material."

I'd love to read the original paper!
