The
research team of Professor Jaeyoung Park (Department of Electronic Engineering)
has successfully developed an "integrated electrochemical-physical hybrid
skin patch sensor" integrated with a sweat-capturing microfluidic channel for
wearable smart medical and healthcare system applications. In order to overcome
the pain from frequent blood sampling and inconvenience of the attachment of multiple sensors to the
human body, the research team has created a multi-mode skin patch that can
simultaneously measure and monitor body temperature, biochemical signals (blood
glucose, pH), and physiological signals (electrocardiograms) in real-time.

Meanwhile,
the research was funded by the government (Ministry of Science and ICT) through
Bio-Medical Technology Program of the Korea Research Foundation (2017M3A9F1031270)
and the Industrial Technology Innovation Program of the Ministry of Trade,
Industry, and Energy(RS-2022-00154983, development of a self-powered sensor
platform for power sensors and actuators). The research results were published
in ACS Sensors (IF: 9.618, JCR: 4.1%), a prestigious international academic
journal in the field of chemical sensors and analysis. (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acssensors.3c00148.
