Offer Description

This project proposes a novel approach to continuous body temperature monitoring, a crucial aspect of human health assessment. The project aims to develop wearable, stitchable optical temperature sensors that can monitor skin temperature by harvesting the mid-infrared (mIR) radiation emitted by the human body. These sensors use large-area graphene as the active material, allowing for scalably producing skin-like, flexible, non-invasive thermometers.
These devices can be applied to multiple locations on the skin, reducing discomfort and enhancing system efficiency and portability. The project involves three research units: Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche and Polytechnic University of Turin, each contributing their unique expertise in areas such as mIR photodetector design, graphene mIR absorption analysis, and biocompatibility testing. The technology developed through this project is expected to advance medical diagnostics through continuous body temperature monitoring significantly. It also has potential applications in the Internet-of-Things and wearable biometric platforms, where system accuracy, reliability, and low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) are critical.
