High-quality optical fibers can be produced now at a low cost and large quantity, and this
has further promoted the development of fiber-optic (chemical) sensors. After over 30 years …

In vivo measurement, not only in animals but also in humans, is a demanding task and is the
ultimate goal in experimental biomechanics. For that purpose, measurements in vivo must …

This paper introduces a pose-sensing system for soft robot arms integrating a set of
macrobend stretch sensors. The macrobend sensory design in this study consists of optical …

The current study highlights the development of a novel and high-accuracy Fiber Bragg
Grating (FBG)-enabled tri-axial distal force sensor for minimally invasive surgical palpation …

The distribution of interface stresses between the residual limb and prosthetic socket of a
transtibial amputee has been considered as a direct indicator of the socket quality fit and …

Vital signs not only reflect essential functions of the human body but also symptoms of a
more serious problem within the anatomy; they are well used for physical monitoring, caloric …

Respiration rate (RR) is an important information related to human physiological health. A
wearable optical fiber sensor for respiration monitoring based on a bend singlemode …

As an important part of the medical health monitoring field, heart rate (HR) monitoring has
become an important application field of sensing technology in recent years. Due to the …

The issues involved with recording vital functions in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
environment using fiber-optic sensors are considered in this paper. Basic physiological …

Abstract Lab-in-a-Fiber (LIF), a counterpart of Lab-on-a-chip, however, deployed within the
cylindrical optical fiber geometry, emerges as a promising approach into the development of …
