Abstract Polymer or Plastic Optical Fiber sensors (POFs) and Fiber Bragg Grating sensors
(FBGs) have gained increasing popularity in biomedical engineering (BME) applications …

Fiber Bragg grating FBG is a periodic refractive change induced inside the fiber's core due to
exposure to optical radiation. Being miniature, EMI (electromagnetic interference) resistant …

In this paper, we present the development of a polymer optical fiber (POF) sensor for
simultaneous measurement of breath (BR) and heart rates (HR). The sensor is embedded …

A dual-channel single-mode-multi-mode-single-mode (SMS) fiber optic sensor
encapsulated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was proposed for the first time, for the …

Arterial pulse wave has been considered as a vital sign in assessment of cardiovascular
diseases. Noninvasive pulse sensor with compact structure, immunity to electro‐magnetic …

Heart-rate monitoring with an ethyl alpha-cyanoacrylate (EtCNA) based fiber Fabry-Perot
(FP) sensor is presented. The fiber FP sensor is fixed in a capillary tube by using the EtCNA …

With the increasing demand for rehabilitation of the elderly population and patients with limb
injuries, it is imperative to develop new wearable health monitoring system and assistive …

In this work, non-invasive continuous blood pressure sensors in a recent decade have been
reviewed to motivate the development of health monitoring devices for future biomedical …

With the wide adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and specifically e-Health applications, the
nature of mobile applications, the increased traffic and the increasing number of connected …

In this study, we developed a radial artery pulse acquisition system based on finger-worn
dense pressure sensor arrays to enable three-dimensional pulse signals acquisition. The …
