Abstract

New concepts in materials science and mechanics design principles provide routes to high performance electronics with physical characteristics matched to those of vital organs of the human body. The resulting opportunities for integration of sensors, actuators, radios and computing capabilities directly on the surfaces or into the depths of targeted tissues have strong potential to improve current practices in clinical care and physiological monitoring. This talk outlines some of the key ideas, and describes their use in various classes of body-integrated electronic and optoelectronic systems with functions that are important to both clinicians and consumers alike.
