Popis: In this work we have streamlined our efforts towards obtaining a solution for human health monitoring system that can be used at home as well as hospital for medical issues. First, we have fabricated PVDF/MWCNT composite electrospun nanofibers followed by piezoelectric pressure sensor directly as self-powered electronic skin (e-skin). The surface morphology is studied by FE-SEM and vibrational modes are characterized by FT-IR. Due to incorporation of conducting MWCNT into the PVDF matrix the flexible self-powered e-skin shows tremendous sensitivity towards human motions and subsequently it can be used for human physiological signal monitoring purpose via non–invasive way that eliminates human errors
