1. A method utilizing brain monitoring, the method comprising:

  • determining a sleep pattern using a wireless smart bandage including a system-on-a-chip, the system-on-a-chip including a microcontroller and a transceiver;

    emitting, by a light source of the wireless smart bandage, light having two or more wavelengths into tissue, wherein the light source is controlled by the microcontroller via the transceiver;

    detecting, by a light detector of the wireless smart bandage, light backscattered from the tissue, wherein the light detector is communicatively coupled to the microcontroller via the transceiver and sends a signal representative of the backscattered light to the microcontroller via the transceiver;

    performing, at the wireless smart bandage by the microcontroller of the system on a chip, near infrared spectroscopy analysis based on the signal representative of the backscattered light; and

    wirelessly transmitting, via the transceiver of the system-on-a-chip, hemodynamic parameter data of a brain that is based on the near infrared spectroscopy analysis to a computing device for determining a sleep pattern based on the backscattered light.
