DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-COST, STABLE, WEARABLE STRAIN SENSORS BASED ON METAL CRACKS FOR REAL-TIME PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING

Sarah Marie Wolverton
The objective of this research is to develop low-cost, stable wearable strain sensors based on metal cracks for real-time physiological monitoring. These sensors could easily be attached to clothing or directly onto the body for motion detection and overall health monitoring. We hope to expand the narrow measure range of crack-based strain sensors by incorporating serpentine connections, thus achieve a good compromise between sensitivity, measure range and stability.
