A research team at Hong Kong Polytechnic University has developed optical fibre sensors used in railway safety monitoring technologies for health monitoring.
WHAT IT DOES
In a statement, PolyU described the novel Side Hole Polymer Optical Fibre Sensors as biocompatible, supple and extremely sensitive to very small pressure changes inside the human body .
Professor Hwa-yaw Tam, lead researcher and head of the university s Department of Electrical Engineering, said the sensors can detect extremely subtle changes even of a difference smaller than 1% of atmospheric pressure – sensitive enough to measure the pressure inside the lungs while breathing, which changes by just a few kilopascals .

The global travel industry and the economies that have come to depend on it have been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic. However, not all tourism authorities are in a rush to go back to how things were.
New Zealand, in particular, sees the pandemic shutdown as an opportunity to appeal to a “better class” of visitor, and it has created the Premium Partnerships Programme to provide sponsorship to tour operators who target individuals worth more than US$1 million (S$1.3 million).
Spain’s tourism minister, Reyes Maroto, echoed the ambitions of other destinations when he told the
Financial Times newspaper in May: “We are moving from a model of ‘the more tourists, the better’ to one of higher expenditures, more nights and premium tourists.”
