CUHK Faculty of Engineering Develops Ultra-Thin Wearable Blood Pressure Sensor Round-the-Clock, Continuous Measurement to Prevent Acute Health Events
An ultra-thin, unobtrusive blood pressure (BP) sensor that can be worn as a wristband or weaved into clothing has been developed by a research team from the Faculty of Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Such devices are accurate and low on battery consumption. When connected to a wireless network, they can provide round-the-clock tracking of the user’s BP, so that abnormality can be detected early to advert acute problems such as strokes and heart attacks.

Work of Prof. SUN, Xiankai’s Research Group Named One of the World’s 30 Breakthroughs in Optics in 2016
Optical isolators allowing for unidirectional light transmission are an important building block in photonic computation and communication. Such devices are widely used in optical and photonic circuits and systems, e.g., to control the photon flow on a photonic chip or to prevent light from reflecting back into a laser emitter.
