Professor Park Jae-Young 's Team has Developed a Multi-Sensor Patch for Simultaneous Monitoring of Body Temperature, Electrocardiogram, and Pulse Rate

  

- Development of flexible/stretchable multifunctional sensor patch capable of real-time monitoring of various bio-signals 

- Expected to be used in wearable medical/healthcare devices, sports, robots, metaverse, automobiles, national defense industry, etc.

- Paper published in npj Flexible Electronics, an internationally renowned journal of Nature Publishing 

 

Professor Park Jae-Young 's team from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Kwangwoon University succeeded in developing a flexible and stretchable multifunctional sensor patch based on nanocomposite materials. The sensor can simultaneously measure and continuously monitor various bio-signals such as body temperature, electrocardiogram, pulse, respiration, and voice in real-time.

 

This multifunctional sensor patch exhibited an ultra-high sensitivity of 2075 and a fast response time of 0.33 s in a wide measurement tensile range from 0% to 28%, and a stable temperature resistance coefficient (TCR, (0.52 % K-1)), and showed excellent temperature sensor characteristics. It also exhibited excellent ECG signals because of its low skin contact impedance (51.08 k at 10 Hz). It is expected to be widely used as a core technology in wearable smart healthcare, sports, robots, home appliances, drones, metaverses, automobiles, and defense industries, as it has excellent durability that does not deteriorate even in continuously repeated experiments of more than 20,000 times.
