Yan, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical, Biological and Chemical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, said the device is designed for use in personalized health care. After these signals are recorded on an electronic device, this information could be shared with a person’s healthcare provider to help identify potential warning signs related to heart disease. The wearable device is designed to continuously track the health of a human heart via dual signals simultaneously - an electrocardiogram (ECG), which measures a heart’s electrical signal, and a seismocardiogram (SCG), which measures heart vibrations. That’s why Zheng Yan and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri are using a $2.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help create a breathable material - with antibacterial and antiviral properties - to support the team’s ongoing development of a multifunctional, wearable heart monitor. ![]() While heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, most people can be treated with early detection and timely interventions.
