Abstract
Wearable sensors continue to emerge in healthcare monitoring applications, owing to their ability to extract vital physiological parameters without triggering discomfort over prolonged usage. This paper studies flexible wearable sensing as a method for continuous heart rate monitoring using resistive vibration measurement. A simulator with adjustable frequency and pulse amplitudes is used to evaluate various patterns. The patterns are printed using screen-printing to achieve high durability. The most effective pattern, identified from simulator results, is found to be one incorporating a spiral shape which demonstrated high sensitivity. This research contributes to continuous heart rate monitoring and provides groundwork for future advancements in strain-gauge based wearable sensor applications for health monitoring and healthcare surveillance.
