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. In particular, implantable electronics offer advantageous alternatives to the existing invasive and expensive procedures that provide incomplete views of patient health. A prevalent area of interest is vascular diseases, where strict requirements of size, wireless operation, and compatibility with endovascular procedures have hindered the development of implantable vascular sensors. This proposal focuses on studies of printing, material integration, mechanics, and wireless sensor design to develop wireless vascular sensors. Demonstrations include aneurysm monitoring, restenosis monitoring, and arterial pressure and flow sensing. Overall the work offers advances towards vascular electronics for comprehensive monitoring of hemodynamics.
