Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team has developed a wearable electronic device that attaches to the skin like a bandage and enables real-time, continuous monitoring of blood pressure over extended periods.
Unlike conventional cuff-based blood pressure monitors that use an inflatable air bladder to apply pressure to the arm, this new technology continuously measures blood pressure with a compact, flexible electronic patch, garnering global attention for its convenience and innovative design.
This collaborative study was conducted jointly with Carnegie Mellon University and has been published in the online edition of Advanced Functional Materials. The team was led by Professor Seung Hwan Ko of the Wearable Soft Electronics Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering.
