This technology introduces a wearable patch-type strain sensor that enables real-time muscle activity monitoring through a piezoelectric sensor developed by the team. Unlike current market options focused on gesture monitoring, this device measures muscle force exertion in various actions and postures. It's applicable to physical training, virtual interfaces, and more, offering high flexibility, linearity, and comfort. This innovation surpasses existing technologies like the piezoelectric yarn by Dr. Masamichi Ando, marking a significant advancement in wearable muscle behavior monitoring devices.
