Skin is the largest organ of human body, and it offers a diagnostic interface rich with vital biological signals from inner organs, blood vessels, muscles, dermis/epidermis. Soft, flexible, stretchable electronic devices provide novel platform to soft tissues for robotic feedback control, regenerative medicine, continuous health monitoring. Here, we introduce term "lab-on-skin" describe set that have physical properties, such as thickness, thermal mass, elastic modulus, water-vapor permeability, which resemble those skin. These can conformally laminate on epidermis mitigate motion artifacts mismatches in mechanical properties created by conventional, rigid electronics while simultaneously providing accurate, non-invasive, long-term, Recent progress design fabrication sensors more advanced capabilities enhanced reliability suggest an impending translation these research lab clinical environments. Regarding advances, first part this manuscript reviews materials, strategies, powering systems used electronics. Next, paper provides overview applications cardiology, dermatology, electrophysiology, sweat diagnostics, emphasis how may replace conventional tools. The review concludes outlook current challenges opportunities future directions wearable

Wearable sensors: modalities, challenges, and prospects

Lab on a Chip, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 18(2), С. 217 - 248

Опубликована: Ноя. 28, 2017

Wearable sensors have recently seen a large increase in both research and commercialization. However, success wearable has been mix of progress setbacks. Most commercial smart adaptation existing mechanical, electrical optical methods measuring the body. This involved innovations how to miniaturize sensing technologies, make them conformal flexible, development companion software that increases value measured data. chemical modalities experienced greater challenges adoption, especially for non-invasive sensors. There also significant making fundamental improvements electrical, modalities, improving their specificity detection. Many these can be understood by appreciating body's surface (skin) as more an information barrier than source. With deeper understanding faced state-of-the-art sensor technology, roadmap becomes clearer creating next generation breakthroughs.

Graphene Electronic Tattoo Sensors

ACS Nano, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 11(8), С. 7634 - 7641

Опубликована: Июль 18, 2017

Tattoo-like epidermal sensors are an emerging class of truly wearable electronics, owing to their thinness and softness. While most them based on thin metal films, a silicon membrane, or nanoparticle-based printable inks, we report sub-micrometer thick, multimodal electronic tattoo that made graphene. The graphene (GET) is designed as filamentary serpentines fabricated by cost- time-effective “wet transfer, dry patterning” method. It has total thickness 463 ± 30 nm, optical transparency ∼85%, stretchability more than 40%. GET can be directly laminated human skin just like temporary fully conform the microscopic morphology surface via van der Waals forces. open-mesh structure makes it breathable its stiffness negligible. A bare able stay attached for several hours without fracture delamination. With liquid bandage coverage, may functional up days. As electrode, GET–skin interface impedance par with medically used silver/silver-chloride (Ag/AgCl) gel electrodes, while offering superior comfort, mobility, reliability. been successfully applied measure electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), temperature, hydration.
