This paper presents the design and implementation of an advanced system on flexible and stretchable technology. The technology platform consists of a matrix of flexible non-stretchable functional islands linked together by a net of elastic interconnections. Several technologies have been developed and tested in the design of simplified demonstrators before studying the design of an advanced system. The target system is a wireless battery charger which supplies power and supports bidirectional data transfer during recharge. The system is intended to serve as a general purpose platform for biomedical parameter monitoring and the design is focused on the embedding in clothes.

Abstract-In the frame of the Flemish Community funded project Bioflex we developed and fabricated an implant for short term bladder pressure monitoring, and diagnosis of incontinence. This implant is soft and flexible to prevent damaging the bladder's inner wall, and designed for a 7 days long implantation. It is based on a standard flexible electronic circuit connected to a battery, embedded in silicone, of which the surface is treated to enhance the biocompatibility and to prevent salt deposition. This article describes the fabrication of the pill. The implantation and the result of the in-vivo experimentation will be presented in another article.
