Stretchable Strain Sensor Used To Create New Wearable Blood Pressure Devices

HOSPIMEDICA

When it comes to wearable medical devices, the inherent inflexibility of modern electronics makes it difficult to create comfortable wearable devices. Worse, devices and sensors that need to flex can often deteriorate due to fatigue, and this limits their sensing capabilities. Recognising the challenges faced with strain sensors, a team of researchers have recently developed a strain sensor that can withstand significant deformation, and this has been used to detect blood pressure.
