- Additional information
- This international collaboration was the first to report use of an array of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) relative humidity (RH) sensors to measure at this interface. Rigorously tested report of direct RH mapping showing the difference between passive loading and real-life changes in RH while sitting. Cited in 2019 woundsUK review (https://www.wounds-uk.com/download/wuk_article/7828) of pressure ulcers and treatment. Potential application to seating (wheelchair cushions)/bed design as well as wider industries where RH control is important. Resulted in guest editing a special issue of Sensors on ‘Environmental Sensors and Their Applications’ (ongoing).
