Tech News 1: Novel double helix yarn piezoresistive sensor for pulse monitoring

[bob_turner]

Textiles woven with yarn are used in remote medical diagnosis with intelligent electronic sensing technology. However, the derived inconsistent signals are one of the problems yet to be solved. A research led by a scholar from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) was inspired by the structure of DNA and found that textiles woven with double helix structure can help overcome the said challenge. The team has further developed a flexible piezoresistive sensor to detect human pulse. The sensor responds...
