Eardrum-Inspired Active Sensors for Self-Powered Cardiovascular System Characterization and Throat-Attached Anti-Interference Voice Recognition
The first bionic membrane sensor based on triboelectrification is reported for self-powered physiological and behavioral measurements such as local internal body pressures for non-invasive human health assessment. The sensor can also be for self-powered anti-interference throat voice recording and recognition, as well as high-accuracy multimodal biometric authentication, thus potentially expanding the scope of applications in self-powered wearable medical/health monitoring, interactive input/control devices as well as accurate, reliable, and less intrusive biometric authentication systems.
