Flexible pressure and temperature microsensors for textile-integrated wearables
Santos, Dimitri Emmanuel dos; Queiroz, José Bento; Garcia, Inês Sofia; Vieira, João; Fernandes, José; Sotgiu, Edoardo; Minas, Graça; Bouçanova, MariaEnvironmental factors, such as pressure and temperature, are known to contribute to the formation of ulcers that seriously affect bedridden individuals. Researchers have proposed several technologies to achieve the long-term monitoring of those parameters, usually relying on sensing mats, which poses difficulties in correlating the measurements with specific parts of the body. In this work, we aim to develop mi...
