Flexible Intelligent Sparse Sensor Network for Infant Movement Assessment

Flexible Intelligent Sparse Sensor Network for Infant Movement Assessment

“In our research, we screened several at-risk infants through calibration by professional physicians, and then urgently contacted the parents, advising them to take their infants to a higher-level hospital for a comprehensive examination. At that moment, we truly felt the importance of what we were doing.” Dr. Zhang Senhao and Dr. Bao Benkun from the … Read more

High-Sensitivity Multidirectional Strain Sensor Based on Laser-Induced Graphene for Human Activity Monitoring

High-Sensitivity Multidirectional Strain Sensor Based on Laser-Induced Graphene for Human Activity Monitoring

This article proposes a high-resolution multidirectional sensor that operates under low strain. Using a laser direct writing method, a porous graphene electrode is prepared on a PI/PDMS composite film, successfully creating a cross-shaped sensitive layer. The sensor exhibits excellent sensing performance, linear response, and repeatability. The unique sensing characteristics of the cross-shaped structure enable the … Read more
