“…Non‐invasive wireless blood pressure monitoring helps in patient diagnosis and treatment by compensating for shortcomings such as ischemic risk and enabling natural body movement. [ 186 , 187 , 188 , 189 ] In pediatrics, since the skin is very sensitive and fragile, the development of a very safe, accurate, soft, and comfortable blood pressure monitoring method and device is essential. Figure 2c shows the continuous monitoring of vital signals by attaching an optimized wireless skin interface device, which can be used in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), to various parts of the infant's body.…”

Recently, bioelectronic devices extensively researched and developed through the convergence of flexible biocompatible materials and electronics design that enables more precise diagnostics and therapeutics in human health care and opens up the potential to expand into various fields, such as clinical medicine and biomedical research. To establish an accurate and stable bidirectional bio-interface, protection against the external environment and high mechanical deformation is essential for wearable bioelectronic devices. In the case of implantable bioelectronics, special encapsulation materials and optimized mechanical designs and configurations that provide electronic stability and functionality are required for accommodating various organ properties, lifespans, and functions in the biofluid environment. Here, this study introduces recent developments of ultra-thin encapsulations with novel materials that can preserve or even improve the electrical performance of wearable and implantable bio-integrated electronics by supporting safety and stability for protection from destruction and contamination as well as optimizing the use of bioelectronic systems in physiological environments. In addition, a summary of the materials, methods, and characteristics of the most widely used encapsulation technologies is introduced, thereby providing a strategic selection of appropriate choices of recently developed flexible bioelectronics.

“…Many groups are searching for precise methods to measure the actual BP of patients in diverse types of treatment. It is known that body position can affect the values obtained, and techniques were developed to overcome the related effects [55,56,57]. When dealing with clinical situations, the cardiovascular control conditions and the automatic measurement of BP may be crucial and demands more precise and even invasive devices [58,59].…”

This paper presents an intelligent system designed to increase the treatment adherence of hypertensive patients. The architecture was developed to allow communication among patients, physicians, and families to determine each patient’s medication intake and self-monitoring of blood pressure rates. Concerning the medication schedule, the system is designed to follow a predefined prescription, adapting itself to undesired events, such as mistakenly taking medication or forgetting to take medication on time. When covering the blood pressure measurement, it incorporates best medical practices, registering the actual values in recommended frequency and form, trying to avoid the known “white-coat effect.” We assume that taking medicine precisely and measuring blood pressure correctly may lead to good adherence to the treatment. The system uses commercial consumer electronic devices and can be replicated in any home equipped with a standard personal computer and Internet access. The resulting architecture has four layers. The first is responsible for adding electronic devices that typically exist in today’s homes to the system. The second is a preprocessing layer that filters the data generated from the patient’s behavior. The third is a reasoning layer that decides how to act based on the patient’s activities observed. Finally, the fourth layer creates messages that should drive the reactions of all involved actors. The reasoning layer takes into consideration the patient’s schedule and medication-taking activity data and uses implicit algorithms based on the J48, RepTree, and RandomTree decision tree models to infer the adherence. The algorithms were first adjusted using one academic machine learning and data mining tool. The system communicates with users through smartphones (anytime and anywhere) and smart TVs (in the patient’s home) by using the 3G/4G and WiFi infrastructure. It interacts automatically through social networks with doctors and relatives when changes or mistakes in medication intake and blood pressure mean values are detected. By associating the blood pressure data with the history of medication intake, our system can indicate the treatment adherence and help patients to achieve better treatment results. Comparisons with similar research were made, highlighting our findings.

“…A force sensor is a type of physical-electronic signal converter that mimics the receptors embedded in human skin and works to perceive force signals from the external environment [1,2]. For example, three-dimensional force (3D-force) sensors have promising applications in health monitoring [3,4], intelligent robotics [5][6][7][8][9][10], and healthcare [11]. It is characterized by the ability to perceive both normal and tangential forces at the same time, which are often present simultaneously in practical scenarios.…”

High-performance three-dimensional force (3D-force) tactile sensors with the capability of distinguishing normal and tangential forces in sync play a vital role in emerging wearable devices and smart electronics. And there is an urgent need for 3D-force tactile sensors with fast response and high flexibility. Herein, we design a capacitive 3D-force tactile sensors inspired by the U-shaped river valley surface morphology, which has satisfactory performance in terms of rapid response/recovery time (∼36 ms/∼ 36 ms), low hysteresis (4.2%), and high sensitivity (0.487 N−1). A theoretical model of general value for congener sensors is also proposed, obtaining a higher sensitivity through optimizing parameters. To verify the application potential of our device in actual scenarios, the robustness testing and gripping gamepad application were carried out. And it can recognize different motions in humans. Furthermore, principal component analysis is also conducted to demonstrate the distinct classification of different motions. Therefore, our work is eligible for the applications in wearable electronics, human–machine interaction, and soft intelligent robots.
