Funded Activity Summary

Silk-based conformal pressure sensing devices. This project aims to develop silk biomaterials-based biocompatible and conformal pressure sensing devices and systems for sustainable wearable electronics. Biocompatible conformal sensing interfaces and sensor arrays will be developed for real-time highly sensitive measurement of pressure, critical for accurate and comprehensive health monitoring and electronic skins. It is believed that the wearable products will provide comfort, utility and accurate physical information to end users, and improve the performance of personnel working in demanding environments, such as in defence forces, athletics and outfield industrial operations, by continuously monitoring physiological parameters.
