    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Wearable Technology
    • Sensor Technology

    Background:

    • The wearables industry seeks soft, wireless, and disposable systems for high-performance, multifunctional biometrics data collection.
    • Existing near field communication (NFC)-enabled wearable biosensors are often unstretchable or require complex manufacturing.
    • There is a need for low-cost, battery-free, and easily manufactured wearable sensors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel, stretchable, wireless, and battery-free wearable biosensor system.
    • To overcome the limitations of existing wearable biosensors regarding flexibility and manufacturing complexity.
    • To enable high-fidelity sensing through an imperceptible and easily applicable device.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a dry and freeform "cut-and-paste" fabrication method for sensor construction.
    • Integrated a temperature sensor, light source/sensor, NFC chip, and antenna into a single stretchable unit.
    • Designed the sensor to be laminated on skin, mimicking a temporary transfer tattoo.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully created a wireless, low-cost, and stretchable biosensor system.
    • The sensor demonstrated full compliance with skin stretching and compression without mechanical failure or delamination.
    • The device is battery-free and utilizes NFC for data communication.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed "cut-and-paste" method offers a simple and efficient approach to fabricating advanced wearable biosensors.
    • The stretchable, imperceptible, and battery-free nature of the sensor enhances user comfort and applicability.
    • This technology holds significant potential for non-invasive biometrics monitoring, including skin thermography and photometry.
