N2 - Three-dimensional fused deposition modelling (FMD) is revolutionizing the production of new custom parts. It has been applied to create, for instance, protection cases and solid supports for all kinds of sensing structures, in a cost- and time-effective way. This paper uses the 3D printing technique to embed an optical fiber sensor, specifically a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor, into a flexible polymer during the printing process, resulting in a compact and robust sensing structure. This FBG cell is intended to be tested in monitoring the heart rate (HR) from different parts of the body. This study preliminary assessed the capability of monitoring HR from the wrist (at the level of the radial artery) and the chest. Results showed promising performance, with a root-mean-square deviation of 5.6 beats per minute.
