Invention offers new option for monitoring heart health – Phys.org
An invention may turn one of the most widely used materials for biomedical applications into wearable devices to help monitor heart health.
An invention may turn one of the most widely used materials for biomedical applications into wearable devices to help monitor heart health.
A team from Purdue University developed self-powered wearable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based contact layers for monitoring cardiovascular health. TENGs help conserve mechanical energy and turn it into power.
The Purdue team’s work is published in the journal Advanced Materials.
“The PVA-based TENGs show great poten…
