| Abstract Scope |
Printed flexible electrochemical devices have received a considerable recent attention in the fields of wearable devices and mobile health. This presentation will describe stretchable and self-healed printable electrochemical devices, based on novel ink materials, that endure extreme deformations commonly experienced by the human skin. These advances have thus led to the development of printable bioelectronic devices that can fold, bend, stretch, and repair, while maintaining remarkable analytical and energy-harvesting performance. Technical challenges and opportunities for fabricating such reliable stretchable textile-based and skin-worn electrochemical sensors and biofuel cells will be discussed, along with several demonstrations of several wearable platforms and prospects for future healthcare applications. |
