Pressure build-ups or drops in our bodies can influence the blood flow going through the body
Specific delicate situations / regions are: CSF [Brain] Glaucoma [Eye (build-up of pressure in this region)]
It has been known through various research and modeling with blood mechanics that pressure drops are directly proportional with blood flow4
If pressure is not detected and monitored carefully Blood flow to that region would be reduced With this in mind, a pressure drop of about 10 Torr for any patient
can be means for dealing with a medical situation as a result of this change

To design and test a drift-free biocompatible pressure sensor which measures small variations in applied pressure Can be used for further experimentation as pressure
monitoring in various parts of the body (eye for example)Potential for monitoring the CSF variations through
pressure monitoring at the brainThree specific tests were performed so far to
understand the pressure sensor’s abilities for the body Impedance variations during pressure change and change
of salt concentrationsConductivity variations during pressure change
Modeling/Simulation of the pressure sensor design and materials through COMSOL
