- Additional information
- A high performance low-profile wearable sensor antenna was established for patient health monitoring. This was the first time that an electronic band gap EBG structure was developed to minimize the patient's day-to-day activities on the antenna performance. According to the British Assistive Technology Association, by 2030 annual health expenditure will be around 7.5% of the GDP. The proposed research reduces this significant burden on the overall economy by robust health care staff for patient monitoring.
