Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel aero-elastic pressure sensor, called 'eAir'.
Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Aug 21 2023 This technology can be applied to minimally-invasive surgeries and implantable sensors by directly addressing the challenges associated with existing pressure sensors.
From lotus leaf to laboratory: Harnessing nature's design Conventional pressure sensors frequently struggle with accuracy. They have trouble delivering consistent readings, often returning varying results when the same pressure is applied repeatedly and can overlook subtle changes in pressure -; all of which can lead to significant errors. They are also typically made from stiff and mechanically inflexible materials.
Benjamin Tee, Associate Professor, NUS College of Design and Engineering and NUS Institute for Health Innovation & Technology Potential game-changing advancement for minimally invasive surgeries The real-world applications of this novel technology are wide-ranging. For instance, in laparoscopic surgeries where precise tactile feedback is indispensable, incorporating eAir sensors could lead to safer surgical procedures, ultimately enhancing patient recovery and prognosis.
