Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Current chronic fatigue (CF) monitoring methods are subjective and inaccurate.
  • Objective, noncontact fatigue assessment tools are needed.
  • Wearable technology offers potential for continuous health monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a capacitive sensor-based eye tracker for objective chronic fatigue (CF) assessment.
  • To leverage cylindrical carbon nanotube-paper composite (CCPC) sensors for noncontact fatigue monitoring.
  • To create a user-friendly platform for fatigue evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of novel CCPC sensors using wet-fracture and paper-rolling techniques.
  • Integration of CCPC sensors into an eyeglass frame for noncontact eye tracking.
  • Development of a 15-minute testing protocol to induce acute fatigue and assess CF using machine learning models.

Main Results:

  • CCPC sensors exhibit superior proximity sensitivity and a small form factor.
  • The eye tracker successfully monitors blink rates and eye closures for fatigue assessment.
  • Machine learning models accurately evaluate CF based on digital markers and established indicators.

Conclusions:

  • The developed wearable eye tracker provides an objective, effortless, and noncontact approach to fatigue assessment.
  • This technology has potential for user-friendly evaluation of acute fatigue and fatigue-associated diseases like ME/CFS.
  • Further optimization and testing are recommended for clinical application.
