About the project
Objective
The project aims to develop a self-powered biodegradable pressure sensor with the potential for wireless data transmission that is tested in vitro under conditions that mimic the in vivo environment of physiological blood flow. The pressure sensor is based on the self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator technology and will combine components that enable high performance and on-demand biodegradation. Sensor validation will be enabled by a hybrid mock circulatory loop: an in vitro system that simulate the dynamics of the healthy and pathological patient’s circulatory system. The method will enable to validate sensor-generated pressure signals against reference pressures generated by a digital patient representation.
