Docket #: S19-292
Stretchable multi-sensor tag for wearable electronics
Stanford researchers at the Bao Research Group have developed a second-generation stretchable multi-sensor tag technology for detecting physiological signals.
Based on patented stretchable antenna concepts disclosed in US Patent 10,635,868 and Stanford docket S17-441, this invention integrates multiple sensors inside one sensor tag enabling more accurate readings. Currently, conventional wearable sensors include a serial tag consisting of antennas and only one sensor. This invention enables multiple sensor as well as analog sensor integration into one sensor tag. Analog sensors can analyze additional physiological data such as body temperature, increasing the utility of BodyNet sensor system described in Stanford docket S17-441.
