Wearable Devices

Wearable devices serve as essential platforms for continuous health monitoring and personalized medicine. The human skin surface provides a rich interface for various biomechanical signals, such as arterial pulses, respiratory patterns, and joint movements. Our group develops wearable sensing systems designed to capture these mechanical biomarkers in a "load-free" manner—integrating sensors with the body without altering its natural mechanical state. By maintaining the original biomechanical behavior of the biological tissue, these platforms provide high-fidelity, quantitative data. We apply these devices across diverse clinical scenarios to support long-term disease diagnosis and rehabilitation.
