[Image: see text] Among the wearable sensor family, the triboelectric nanogenerator has excellent potential in human healthcare systems due to its small size, self-powered, and low cost. Here is the design and simulation of the triboelectric nanogenerator using the 3D model in COMSOL Multiphysics software for blood pressure measurement. As a reliable indicator of human physiological health, blood pressure (BP) has been utilized in more and more cases to predict and diagnose potential diseases and the dysfunction caused by hypertension. The main focus of this study is to prognosis and preserve human health against BP. It is one of the significant challenges in predicting and diagnosing BP in the human lifestyle. The self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator can diagnose BP using the wrist pulse pressure. To optimize the performance of the modeled triboelectric nanogenerator, the known wrist pulse pressure is applied explicitly, which converts the applied pressure into an equivalent electrical signal across the output terminals. An output open circuit voltage for the applied pulse pressure is 26 V. The generated output electrical signal is proportional to the applied pulse pressure, which is used to know the BP range. It ensures that the triboelectric nanogenerator is an opted sensor to sense the minute nadi pressure signal. This work validates that the simulated model has the potential to act as several health care monitors such as respiratory rate, heart rate, glucose range, joint motion sensing, gait, and CO(2) detectors.
