Kwangwoon University Professor Park Jaeyoung’s team has developed a wearable flexible piezoresistive sensor that can detect and monitor various large and small biosignals of the human body in real-time, such as pulse, heart rate, respiration, and vocalization. Compared to conventional sensors, it has better features such as ultra-high sensitivity and ultra-low detection limit over a wide linear pressure range (0-50 kPa). The team expects it to be widely used as a core technology in wearable smart healthcare, electronic skin, a humanoid robot, and the metaverse.
