چکیده
Flexible Capacitive Pressure Sensor with Microstructure Array for Human Pulse Sensing 1. Abstract In this project, we designed a capacitive pressure sensor for blood pressure and human pulse detection using flexible copper film and PDMS [dielectric] microstructure sandwich structure. We observed a linear relation between force and change in capacitance and detected a human pulse [pressure]. This flexible nature of the device can used in designing a wireless and passive blood pressure sensor for continuous blood monitoring.
