“…In the last decade, a new class of sensor technology—epidermal electronic systems—are being investigated to measure electrophysiological activity produced by the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles 39 . Ultra‐thin, “skin‐like” membranes, with tattoo‐like conformability and stretchability without actual transdermal ink injection, provide the structural foundation for sensor electrodes, power supply, and communication components that can non‐invasively collect physiological information from within the body through the epidermis 86 . A whole class of tattoo‐based wearable electrochemical devices are broadening the concept of epidermal chemical sensing 37 .…”

Exposure science is fundamental to the field of occupational safety and health. The measurement of worker exposures to hazardous agents informs effective workplace risk mitigation strategies. The modern era of occupational exposure measurement began with the invention of the personal sampling device, which is still widely used today in the practice of occupational hygiene. Newer direct‐reading sensor devices are incorporating recent advances in transducers, nanomaterials, electronics miniaturization, portability, batteries with high‐power density, wireless communication, energy‐efficient microprocessing, and display technology to usher in a new era in exposure science. Commercial applications of new sensor technologies have led to a variety of health and lifestyle management devices for everyday life. These applications are also being investigated as tools to measure occupational and environmental exposures. As the next‐generation placeable, wearable, and implantable sensor technologies move from the research laboratory to the workplace, their role in the future of work will be of increasing importance to employers, workers, and occupational safety and health researchers and practitioners. This commentary discusses some of the benefits and challenges of placeable, wearable, and implantable sensor technologies in the future of work.

“…patients for signs of deterioration have demonstrated to effectively decrease the mortality rates [219] and the hospital loads in China. Wearable and epidermal RFID sensors [177] exhibit a great potential to enable a comfortable, easy-to-use and wireless monitoring of a significant set of physiological parameters, such as temperature, breath anomalies, electrophysiology, and biomarkers in sweat, through small devices to be applied directly over the skin [220]. Table III summarizes the possible applications of RFID platforms versus some symptoms of the infectious disease [221].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced mankind to unprecedented global challenges, drastically changing our way of living. To minimize life losses, multi-level strategies requiring collective efforts were adopted, while waiting for researchers and Pharma companies to develop vaccines. The management of so complex processes has partly taken benefit from a network vision and from the rising framework of the Internet of Things (IoT). Among the several technologies converging to IoT, the Radiofrequency Identification (RFID), based on backscattering communication, is probably the approach that is most suitable to both the micro (the user) and the macro (the processes) scale. Accordingly, a single infrastructure can support almost all the logistic and monitoring issues related to the war against a pandemic. Based on the earned COVID-19 experience, this paper is a guide about how state-of-the-art RFID systems can be employed in facing future pandemic outbreaks. The three pillars of the contrast are addressed, namely: 1) use and managing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), 2) access control and social distancing, and 3) early detection of symptoms. For each class, the envisaged RFID devices and procedures are identified and discussed based on the already available technology and on the state of the art of worldwide research. The presented guide tells us that this technology has a real potentiality to play a key role in generating an extraordinary amount of data, so that complementary paradigms of Edge Computing and Artificial intelligence should be tightly integrated to extract profiles and identify anomalous events, in compliance with privacy and security.

“…The resulting epidermal wireless RF sensor can perform different sensing of local skin features such as temperature, strain, sweat loss, and pH. 71 The sensing mechanism of physical parameters such as regional body temperature, strain, and pressure is like that in the previous sections that we discussed. Therefore, here we introduce some studies in chemical input-based biomedical RF sensing applications.…”

“…The epidermal tag is printed on a biocompatible membrane that may dynamically interact with the skin interface by absorbing biofluids such as sweat or releasing drugs and is suitable for inkjet printing as a substrate. The resulting epidermal wireless RF sensor can perform different sensing of local skin features such as temperature, strain, sweat loss, and pH . The sensing mechanism of physical parameters such as regional body temperature, strain, and pressure is like that in the previous sections that we discussed.…”
