Metal Nanowire Based Devices for Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
Prof Andrew Watt
Recently we demonstrated that we could build a nanowire-based pressure sensor with sufficient sensitivity and mechanical properties to measure changes in venal flow. We wish to build upon this exciting initial result and show that it is possible to make a passive measurement of blood pressure. The project will involve nanowire synthesis and device fabrication alongside ex vivo testing and a variety of materials characterisation techniques.
