Abstract

MEMS technology has never been used for a non-imaging wearable ultrasound application, where e.g. lateral resolution is a minor issue. We combine finite element modeling and thin-plate analytic modeling and some measurements on MEMS devices, to optimize the performance of four MEMS layouts for a wearable bladder monitor. An array of square diaphragms, clamped on two sides, appears to be most favorable.
