Piezoresistive pressure sensor for ICP monitoring: Remote powering through wearable textile antenna and sensor readout experiment

Abstract

We attest the feasibility of a textile antenna in remote powering of a piezoresistive pressure sensor through inductive coupling for monitoring of intracranial pressure. The textile antenna made of metallized fabric on light-weight cell foam rubber substrate. Simulated and measured results of the wireless link performance along with measured output voltage versus pressure are presented.
