Wearable human motion monitoringhas become an integral part of the paradigm shift that is on the horizon in the field of healthcare for a wide variety of biomedical applications. In recent years, there has been incessant advancement in smart wearable technology capable of human motion monitoring ranging from strain sensors to piezoelectrics. This paper proposes to fabricate a Triboelectric Nanogenerator based on Vertical Contact Separation (VCS) mode with design characteristics offlexibility, low cost, simple and easy to fabricate design for real - time monitoring of human body movements. The output performance of fabricated VCS - TENG is analysed by finger tapping. In order to conduct human motion monitoring, VCS - TENG is affixed on different body parts, and the corresponding signal is analysed. The developed prototype can be further integrated with advanced electronics to deliver promising technology in the field of healthcare diagnostics and monitoring.
