Park Jae-young's team (Department of Electronic Engineering) has successfully
developed a flexible smart glove that can simultaneously detect and monitor various
bio-signals of the human body, including ECG, temperature, humidity, and
pressure stimuli in real-time. The team creatively designed the smart glove so
that external deformation applied from multiple directions does not affect the
performance of the sensors integrated in the smart glove and simplified the
sensor structure design and process technology based on graphene
(Laser-engraved Graphene (LEG) electrodes using CO2 laser engraving technology
to test the possibility of mass production and commercialization.
