Abstract

Abstract : An array of highly sensitive pressure sensors entirely made of biodegradable materials is presented, designed as a single‐use flexible patch for application in cardiovascular monitoring. The high sensitivity in combination with fast response time is unprecedented when compared to recent reports on biodegradable pressure sensors (sensitivity three orders of magnitude higher), as illustrated by pulse wave velocity measurements, toward hypertension detection.
