Development of Microneedle-Based Sensors for High-Resolution Electromyography Recordings

This project aims to develop a novel wearable microneedle patch that can painlessly measure muscle activity more accurately and comfortably than current technologies, with the potential to transform how neuromuscular disorders like Parkinson’s are diagnosed and managed. It leverages the University of Calgary’s expertise in low-cost, scalable microfabrication techniques and University College Dublin’s expertise in advanced microneedle fabrication and clinical testing. By uniting these complementary skills, both institutions will gain cutting-edge knowledge, broaden their research capabilities, and strengthen their collaborative ties. Ultimately, this collaboration will advance neuromuscular diagnostics and forge a lasting partnership that drives future breakthroughs in health monitoring technology.
