Skin-like test model

Caption

Researchers developed realistic skin-mimicking models that could help improve the accuracy of optical medical devices and wearable sensors across a wider range of skin tones. The multilayer silicone phantoms incorporate artificial blood vessels and simulated blood flow, enabling controlled testing of technologies such as pulse oximeters and hyperspectral cameras.
