Toward Reliable Power Electronics

Nanomesh on-skin electronics

In many clinical diagnostics, skin serves as a measurement window for quantitative assessments of physiological health. Prominent examples are in biopotential recordings that yield insights into cardiovascular activity, skeletal muscle behaviour and brain function through electrocardiograms, electromyograms and electroencephalograms, respectively. Signals in the latter two cases can also serve ...

Epidermal electronics: Skin health monitoring.

Our skin reveals many aspects of our overall health, ethnicity, age, and social and physical environment. Its mechanical properties are often tested by practitioners as a first gauge of our status; for instance, applying light pressure with a finger on the skin can be used to give an indication of circulatory function, and a gentle pinch can provide information on the skin stiffness and hydrati...

Toward an optimized computer assisted electronics laboratory

This paper describes a project-based educational system recently implemented at the Electronics laboratory of our department. This system utilizes a combination of hardware implementation and a specific type of computer simulation assistance, which is initially customized to the particular experiments of the few first laboratory sessions, and becomes progressively modifiable by the student thro...

Multifunctional skin-like electronics for quantitative, clinical monitoring of cutaneous wound healing.

Non-invasive, biomedical devices have the potential to provide important, quantitative data for the assessment of skin diseases and wound healing. Traditional methods either rely on qualitative visual and tactile judgments of a professional and/or data obtained using instrumentation with forms that do not readily allow intimate integration with sensitive skin near a wound site. Here, an electro...
