Our proposed research project aims to develop flexible, wearable sensors for monitoring heart health using advanced materials such as graphene and flexible printed electrodes. These sensors will be integrated into a comfortable and non-invasive wearable device that can continuously monitor and track the wearer’s heart health through ECG readings. The device will be designed to provide real-time alerts to the wearer or their healthcare provider if any concerning heart abnormalities are detected. By using these advanced materials, we hope to develop a device that is both highly sensitive and durable, with the potential to revolutionize the way we monitor and manage heart-related conditions. This technology has the potential to improve early detection and management of heart-related diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, which can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. By providing individuals with a non-invasive, user-friendly device for continuous heart monitoring, we hope to contribute to the development of more effective and accessible healthcare solutions.
