“…Optical fibre sensors offer attractive solutions to a number of measurement challenges faced in healthcare (Correia et al, 2018). Different optical fibre sensing approaches can be applied to physical measurements such as fibre long period grating (Rana et al, 2022;Wong et al, 2019), fibre in-line interferometer (Wu, 2021;Chen, 2020) and fibre Sagnac loop (Culshaw, 2006;Shao, 2019). Amongst these, fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) offer an attractive solution for healthcare as they offer the opportunity to multiplex multiple sensors (up to 40) on the same optical fibre.…”
