Wearable pressure sensors enable long‐term real‐time health monitoring in a noninvasive and power‐efficient way; however, the sensors are often required to be precisely applied at the optimal measurement spot, e.g., nearby radial artery, for signal acquisition, causing inconvenience for untrained us...
