Hydrogel Adhesive Integrated‐Microstructured Electrodes for Cuff‐Free, Less‐Invasive, and Stable Interface for Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a cuff‐free, less‐invasive surgical approach for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) by combining ultrathin Y‐shaped kirigami electrodes is developed with a chemically cross‐linked hydrogel adhesive (hydrogel‐kirigami). Unlike conventional cuff implantation, which may damage nerves and nearby critical vessels, this new technique minimizes ...

WiEat: Fine-grained Device-free Eating Monitoring Leveraging Wi-Fi Signals [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Eating is a fundamental activity in people's daily life. Studies have shown that many health-related problems such as obesity, diabetes and anemia are closely associated with people's unhealthy eating habits (e.g., skipping meals, eating irregularly and overeating). Traditional eating monitoring solutions relying on self-reports remain an onerous task,
