Key result
A novel fingertip-contacted pressure sensor with a sensitivity of 49.8 mV/Pa and response time <6 ms successfully measured pulse waveforms in 54 volunteers to diagnose arteriosclerosis.
Why the study?
Enabling everyday object surfaces frequently touched by fingertips to detect dynamic epidermal pulse signals could allow continuous health assessment without restrictions on time or place.
Does an ultrasensitive fingertip-contacted pressure sensor enable accurate measurement of epidermal pulse waves for arteriosclerosis diagnosis in volunteers?
Does an ultrasensitive fingertip-contacted pressure sensor enable accurate measurement of epidermal pulse waves for arteriosclerosis diagnosis in volunteers?
A novel nanohemispherical pressure sensor allows for continuous, wireless monitoring of fingertip pulse waves on everyday surfaces, offering a potential new method for arteriosclerosis screening.

May enable convenient fingertip pulse monitoring on everyday surfaces; hypothesis-generating for arteriosclerosis screening and requires validation.
Meng et al. (2019) studied Arteriosclerosis (n=54). Ultrasensitive fingertip-contacted pressure sensor was evaluated on Pulse waveform measurement and arteriosclerosis diagnosis. A novel fingertip-contacted pressure sensor with a sensitivity of 49.8 mV/Pa and response time <6 ms successfully measured pulse waveforms in 54 volunteers to diagnose arteriosclerosis.
