Overview
Dr Yang Wei is the senior lecturer in electronic engineering at the Department of Engineering, Nottingham Trent University, and the lead of smart wearable research (SWR) group. He has been working in the field of electronic textiles for 10 years and his research interests include electronic textiles, wearable medical textiles, developing printable functional materials, and microfabrication and packaging, He is currently a member of the steering committee for the EPSRC e-textiles network (EP/R031738/1), acts as an EU expert reviewer, and is reviewer for international journals including Advanced Materials.
Unnecessary hospital visits and re-admissions due to poorly managed personal health are major issues. We are here to transform medical technologies to improve human health through wearable technologies
