The development of self-powered wearable biosensors

The proposed project aims to develop a wearable biosensor for real-time monitoring of critical cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein, Troponin I, and Myoglobin, along with physiological parameters like heart rate. The biosensor will achieve high selectivity and durability by utilizing molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) technology. The intern will collaborate with Professor Joseph Wang to integrate these biosensors into wearable devices, enabling continuous monitoring and early diagnosis of CVD. This project will benefit participating institutions by advancing wearable health technology, improving early CVD detection, and contributing to digital healthcare innovations.
