摘要：
The ubiquity of phrases such as high blood pressure or low blood sugar not only indicates their integration into our personal perception of health but also underscores the societal importance of the medical technologies that enable their measurement. In modern medicine, devices that can monitor biological changes in cells and organs are essential to understanding, diagnosing, and managing disease. However, many limitations exist in current monitoring devices, particularly in those that aim to detect changes deep within tissues ( 1 ). For example, high cost, invasiveness, and lack of real-time feedback need to be overcome to enable earlier detection and treatment of disease ( 2 ). On page 1096 of this issue, Liu et al. ( 3 ) report an innovative approach to monitoring using an implant called a bioresorbable, shape-adaptive, ultrasound-readable materials structure (BioSUM). This device could allow athome monitoring of deeptissue changes after surgery.
