Meeting 2026 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition
Symposium Printed Electronics and Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Functional Materials and Devices—From Processing Concepts to Applications
Presentation Title Additive Manufacturing for Wearable, Implantable, and In Vivo Therapeutic Applications
Author(s) Wei Gao
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Wei Gao
Abstract Scope Advances in bioprinting technologies are unlocking new opportunities for personalized health monitoring and minimally invasive therapies. In this talk, I will present our recent efforts in developing scalable printing strategies for wearable, implantable, and in vivo applications. First, I will introduce an inkjet-printed sensor platform for continuous tracking of clinically relevant biomarkers—including metabolites, nutrients, and therapeutic drugs—through both wearable and implantable interfaces. Second, I will describe a robust direct ink writing approach for fabricating multimodal wearable sensors capable of capturing biochemical and physiological signals to enable machine-learning powered personalized health assessment. Finally, I will highlight our recent breakthrough in deep-tissue bioprinting: an ultrasound-guided in vivo sound printing technique that enables noninvasive fabrication of biocarrier, bioadhesive, and bioelectronic hydrogels directly within living tissues, without the need for open surgery. Collectively, these platforms demonstrate a convergent path toward next-generation diagnostics and therapeutics for real-world clinical translation.
