With rapid progress in hardware design, smart materials, digital fabrication, data representation, and context-aware algorithms, wearable systems have evolved into intelligent and adaptive companions in everyday life. This studio focuses on human-centred intelligent wearable technologies for healthcare applications, exploring how design, sensing, and computation can converge to empower innovative medical care. Through a combination of research, prototyping, and experiential learning, students will investigate how wearable devices can monitor, assist, and enhance human wellbeing across clinical and personal health contexts.<\/p>\n<h4>Problem statement:<\/h4>\n<p>This project aims to design and prototype a cuffless blood pressure monitoring wearable to support remote patient care in Alexandra Hospital&#8217;s smart ward environment. The students will consider exploring the following solutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multimodal sensing: fuse multiple psychological signals, such as seismocardiography (SCG) or photoplethysmography (PPG), to predict the blood pressure.<\/li>\n<li>Human-centred fabrication: soft, skin-friendly wearable band built with flexible PCB and compliant materials for prolonged wear.<\/li>\n<li>Data processing: onboard signal acquisition, preprocessing, machine-learning-based algorithms, and wireless streaming to a remote monitoring dashboard.<\/li>\n<li>Validations: balance clinical accuracy with patient comfort and usability in a smart-ward environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find out more about Alexandra Hospital&#8217;s virtual healthcare solution here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ah.com.sg\/about-ah\/redesigning-healthcare\">https:\/\/www.ah.com.sg\/about-ah\/redesigning-healthcare<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Project partner:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Alexandra Hospital<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Project supervisors:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr Cai Shaoyu (<a href=\"mailto:shao.cai@nus.edu.sg\">shao.cai@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Ms Erin Ng Xin Le (<a href=\"mailto:erin.ngxinle@nus.edu.sg\">erin.ngxinle@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Studio timeslot in Semester 2 AY2025\/2026:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday 9 am to 12 pm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intelligent Wearable Technology :Wearable technology is transforming the way humans perceive, interpret, and interact with their surroundings.
