Soft electronic devices that can acquire vital signs from the human body
represent an important trend for healthcare. Combined strategies of
materials design and advanced microfabrication allow the integration of a
variety of components and devices on a stretchable platform, resulting
in systems with minimal constraints on the human body. We have
demonstrated a skin-mounted multichannel health monitor that can sense
local field potentials, temperature, strain, acceleration, and body
orientation. Integrating ultrasonic transducers on this stretchable
platform adds a third dimension to the detection range by launching
ultrasound waves that reach well underneath the skin. The ultrasound
waves allow capturing a wide range of dynamic events in deep tissues
such as blood pressure and blood flow waveforms in central arteries and
veins. This technology holds profound implications for continuous and
noninvasive sensing, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic diseases.
