Wearable Piezoelectric Airflow Sensor for Human Respiratory and Metabolic Monitoring

Wearable Piezoelectric Airflow Sensor for Human Respiratory and Metabolic Monitoring

According to MEMS Consulting, researchers at The University of Manchester have proposed a simple and cost-effective method for monitoring respiratory function and metabolic rate using a wearable piezoelectric airflow transducer (WPAT). The researchers designed a self-protecting bending sensor by bonding two uniaxially stretched piezoelectric poly-L-lactic acid films cut at different angles, and then installed the … Read more
