Health Monitoring with Skin-Like Electronics

Flexible, wearable electronics could be used for precision medical sensors attached to the skin, designed to perform health monitoring and diagnosis. Such a skin-like device is being developed in a project between the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME). Leading the project is Sihong Wang, Assistant Professor in UChicago PME with a joint appointment in Argonne’s Nanoscience and Technology division.
