Wearable Energy-Harvesting Sensor for Continuous Health Monitoring
Develop a textile-based wearable sensor to monitor your health
Project description
In this project, students will design and prototype a novel wearable sensor for continuous physiological monitoring (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, glucose, etc.). Besides the conventional electronic gadgets (e.g., Arduino), new materials, such as conductive fabric, will be utilized to develop a skin-comfort wearable sensor. Students interested in embedded systems are highly encouraged to apply.
Project outcome
The final outcome of this project will be the creation of a novel wearable system similar to a textile wristband.
