Get well faster with these wearable nanotechnology sensors

Engineers at the University of Delaware believe they can revolutionize how we monitor human health using nanomaterial-based sensors embedded in clothing.

Led by Professor Erik Thostenson and funded by the National Science Foundation’s Partnerships for Innovation program, the team developed sensors that can be seamlessly integrated into everyday fabrics and offer real-time data on human movement.

The evolution of nanomaterial sensors.

The journey of these nanomaterial sensors, now dubbed “Henswear,” began over 15 years ago when Thostenson began working on carbon nanotube-based sensors. In…
