Topic:Epidermal Sensor Systems for Sensing and Therapy
Abstract:The Epidermal sensor system is a class of skin-mounted, tattoo-like circuits and sensors capable of multiple functions, such as continuous vital sign monitoring, human-machine interface, and administering transdermal therapies.  Mechanical properties, such as thickness, softness, and mass density are well matched with the human epidermis and are therefore able to form a very intimate contact with human skin thereby providing unprecedented signal fidelity and comfort. These systems have successfully demonstrated many functions, including long-term, continuous, measurement of electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), skin temperature, skin hydration, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and sweat analysis (e.g. glucose and lactate), as well as thermal treatment and transdermal drug delivery.  However, the high material and manufacturing cost have greatly hindered the widespread use of disposable epidermal sensors.  We therefore invented a cost and time effective, completely dry, benchtop “cut-and-paste” green manufacturing method to produce freeform and portable multiparametric epidermal sensor systems.
