The idea of simplifying healthcare technology is a shared vision among Tufts faculty, who have recently introduced paper-based tests for monitoring persona

Wearable technology has exploded in recent years. Spurred by advances in flexible sensors, transistors, energy storage, and harvesting devices, wearables encompass miniaturized electronic devices worn directly on the human skin for sensing a range of biophysical and biochemical signals or, as with smart watches, for providing convenient human-machine interfaces.

Researchers at Rice University will lead a project sponsored by the Department of Defense to enhance communications between microelectronics and microorganisms, paving the way for living sense-and-respond systems.

Thread-Based Sensors Measure Head Movements in Real Time Written by AZoSensorsFeb 1 2021 Tufts University engineers have designed and demonstrated new flexible thread-based sensors that are capable of measuring the neck movements, offering information on the direction, degree of displacement and angle of rotation of the head. Scanning electron microscopy of threads coated with electrically conducting carbon-based ink Bending the coated threads creates strain, which changes their electrical con...
