Wearable device design with continuous cuff-less blood pressure measurement. This project aims to develop a non-invasive, body-worn device able to monitor blood pressure (BP) continuously in real time. The project proposes new sensing techniques for blood pressure measurement based on capturing pulse transit time in the central arteries using a combination of electrical bio-impedance, electrocardiogram (ECG), and continuous wave radar. Coupled with other vital parameters including heart rate, he ....Wearable device design with continuous cuff-less blood pressure measurement. This project aims to develop a non-invasive, body-worn device able to monitor blood pressure (BP) continuously in real time. The project proposes new sensing techniques for blood pressure measurement based on capturing pulse transit time in the central arteries using a combination of electrical bio-impedance, electrocardiogram (ECG), and continuous wave radar. Coupled with other vital parameters including heart rate, heart rhythm, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, it is expected that the device will enable remote monitoring with wireless connectivity and with many advantages over the traditional wired monitoring methods currently used in healthcare environments and it will assist with more effective prevention, home care and treatment.Read moreRead less
Liquid Metal for quench detection sensors and low resistance joints. This project aims to develop next-generation liquid metal-based superconducting joints and quench detection sensors to enable superconducting magnets to operate in “persistent mode”. This would make a significant contribution to improving the safety and performance of superconducting coil systems at a reduced cost. Furthermore, intelligent features will be formulated to prevent hazardous and inefficient operating conditions. Th ....Liquid Metal for quench detection sensors and low resistance joints.
