PhD Research Studentships
Wearable sensor for real-time continuously health monitoring
| Supervisor: | Lei SU |
| Apply by: | 31 January 2024 |
| Start in: | September (Semester 1) |
Description
Wearable devices have emerged as effective solutions in continuous cardiovascular point-of-care monitoring for early diagnosis and prevention. Wearable sensors that can take realtime measurements are desirable.
This PhD project aims to develop body-worn sensors that combine the excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility of soft electronics for cardiovascular monitoring. In this project, we will develop novel sub-millimetre thin, flexible and stretchable sensors to address a long-standing clinical challenge in healthcare.
Funding
