Development of Wearable Circuits for Passive and Non-Invasive Healthcare Monitoring
Most of the current foetal heart rate monitoring devices are fabricated with hard materials that often discomfort the users. Furthermore, due to its rigid and bulky nature, it cannot be used for a long period of monitoring, nor can it conform to users of various sizes. Objectives are to examine soft biocompatible materials for the substrate, electrodes, and circuit, to develop a 3D printing wearable circuit which can effectively connect the electronic components, and to fabricate a functional prototype of the proposed wearable device.
