Biomedical Sensors
Sensing encompasses a multitude of machine and medical applications, including biomedical diagnostics, remote imaging, and machine-health monitoring.
Sensors represent the interface between the universe and data, with enabled detection leading to observation and analysis.
Sensing encompasses a multitude of applications, from medical diagnostics to remote imaging and machine-health monitoring.
CEIS supports research for an array of sensing applications, from mechanical to medical.
Mechanical sensors are physical devices that detect and measure mechanical quantities and convert them into electrical signals. Types of mechanical sensors include accelerometers, which measure dynamic motion, vibration, and gravitational forces; pressure switches and transducers that monitor fluid or gas; and position/displacement sensors that track linear or angular movement.
Biomedical sensing converts body signs into readable numbers. These include physical sensors to measure body heat, pulse, and blood pressure; chemical sensors to check body fluids and pH levels; and biosensors that use active biological elements like DNA in detection.
