Tissue Property Investigation

Our "Tissue Property Investigation" project aims to develop sensors which will be able to identify tissue types and monitor property changes.

Major task in this project will be the identification and correlation of relevant tissue properties which can help identifying/classifying tissue types as well as allow predictions on expected changes in wound healing.

Other important tasks are the integration of sensors or sensor components into textiles and instruments, signal data storage and transmission as well as power management.

Electronic Nose


Development of a low-cost gas sensor which is able to detect and classify a multitude of gases and gas mixtures. Most notable features are its low-cost MOx sensor and "footprint" based gas identification algorithm.

Textile integrated ECG Sensors


Research aimed towards integration of dry ECG electrodes into wearable textiles like t-shirts which can produce signals at a comparable quality level as standard ECG electrodes. Main tasks were skin-electrode interfacing and optimizations and signal filtering for noise reduction.

Textile integrated pressure sensors


R&D for a simple and robust pressure sensor which can be used together with compression bandages in order to control optimal application of the bandage.
