SUMMARY

Wearable and implantable electronics can achieve continuous, at –home monitoring of human health and offer improvements to prevention, diagnostics, and treatments of a wide range of diseases. These electronics offer advantageous alternatives to the existing invasive and expensive procedures that provide incomplete views of patient health. However, existing devices suffer from rigid and bulky electronics that interface poorly with tissues, causing discomfort and diminishing signal quality. Additionally, flexible devices have demonstrated limited wireless sensing capabilities. This proposal focuses on studies of printing, material integration, mechanics, and wireless sensor design to enable flexible and stretchable sensors for wireless monitoring in wearable and implantable forms. Demonstrations include wearable strain, pressure, and temperature sensors, and implantable vascular electronics for comprehensive hemodynamics monitoring.
