Touchable Cardiovascular Surfaces (TCS) brings physiological intelligence into the surface layer of everyday products. On contact, a spatially selective photonic grid acquires morphology-faithful PPG at the region of interest and evaluates signal quality in real time. The result is a quiet, contact-activated surface that preserves the familiar user experience while providing systems with a disciplined physiological data channel.
