Other Crossing borders online seminar (via Zoom) with John A. Rogers: "Soft Electronic and Microfluidic Systems for the Skin"
Welcome to an online seminar with John A. Rogers, Northwestern University, USA, on Wednesday 7 April 2021 between 16:00-17:00 CET.
Title
"Soft Electronic and Microfluidic Systems for the Skin"
Speaker
John A. Rogers, Northwestern University, USA
Abstract
Biological systems are mechanically soft, with complex, time-dependent 3D curvilinear shapes; modern electronic and microfluidic technologies are rigid, with simple, static 2D layouts. Eliminating this profound mismatch in physical properties will create vast opportunities in man-made systems that can intimately integrate with the human body, for diagnostic, therapeutic or surgical function with important, unique capabilities in fitness/wellness, sports performance and clinical healthcare.
Over the last decade, a convergence of new concepts in materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and advanced manufacturing has led to the emergence of diverse classes of 'biocompatible' electronic and microfluidic systems with skin-like physical properties.
This talk describes the key ideas and presents some of the most recent device examples, including wireless, battery-free electronic 'tattoos' with applications in continuous monitoring of vital signs in neonatal and pediatric intensive care; and microfluidic/electronic platforms that can capture, manipulate and perform biomarker analysis on microliter volumes of sweat, with applications in sports and fitness.
