Soft, Wireless Mechano-Acoustic Devices for Sensing Advanced Physiological Parameters and Body Motion

Abstract

Soft, wearable mechano-acoustic devices adhered to locations of anatomical importance (suprasternal notch) can sense bodily processes by incorporating high-bandwidth triaxial accelerometers. The mechano-acoustic output from these sensors captures complex physiological parameters that extend far beyond commercial wearables, which focus primarily on step count and activity levels.
