241 Epidermal electronics for diagnostics and therapy in dermatology

Epidermal bioelectronics, consisting of thin, soft electronic systems that are interfaced with the human body, has started to transform traditional healthcare. Hundreds early versions sensors, actuators and transmitters integrated into patches or bandages deployed in various medical conditions, their number is ever-growing. Among many devices, epidermal biosensors at center this effort offer a huge potential revolutionize conventional healthcare involves physical examination biochemical analysis assess overall health detect abnormalities. In our lab, we develop translational approaches eliminate biological mechanical mismatch between conventional, rigid, static diagnostic technologies skin by integrating soft, complex multifunctional electronics microfluidic for diagnostics therapy. Here, brief, albeit comprehensive I would like describe key ideas presents some most recent device examples developed including wireless, battery-free ‘patches’ applications continuous monitoring vital signs through dermatological, neurological applications; microfluidic/electronic platforms can capture biomarkers hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines metabolites microorganisms skin.
