Battery-Free Skin-Conformal Wearable System Can Measure Electrocardiogram Signals

Battery-free skin-conformal wearable system can measure electrocardiogram signals

A research team led by Prof. Jerald Yoo from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University (SNU) has developed a skin-conformal wearable health care system, "SkinECG," capable of measuring electrocardiogram (ECG) signals without a battery. By combining energy harvesting with human body–coupled power transfer, the study presents a new solution to one of the most critical challenges in wearable devices: power s…

SNU Researchers Create Battery-Free, Skin-Conforming Wearable Technology

A pioneering research team at Seoul National University (SNU), led by Professor Jerald Yoo from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has unveiled a transformative advancement in wearable healthcare technology. Their novel system, “SkinECG,” introduces a skin-conformal, battery-free electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, breaking new ground in how physiological signals can be monitored continuously without the limitations traditionally…
