Abstract: Precision thermometry of the skin can, together with other measurements, provide clinically relevant information about cardiovascular health, cognitive state, malignancy and many other important aspects of human physiology. Here, we introduce an ultrathin, compliant skin-like sensor/actuator technology that can pliably laminate onto the epidermis to provide continuous, accurate thermal characterizations that are unavailable with other methods. Examples include non-invasive spatial mapping of skin temperature w… Show more

“…Here we describe recent advances in multimodal sensors of skin hydration, via measurements of intrinsic thermal and electrical properties, in which advanced materials, mechanics and concepts render devices that have soft, 'skin-like', or 'epidermal', formats [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . The thin geometries and compliant mechanics lead to a mode of integration with the skin that does not require application of pressure, and instead relies on van der Waals adhesion forces alone.…”

“…These systems softly laminate onto the epidermis to yield highly functional, cutaneous interfaces that are mechanically, thermally and chemically 'invisible' to the user 5,6 with potential for use outside of hospitals and traditional laboratory settings. Opportunities in seamless, continuous assessment of health/ wellness, advanced function in wound monitoring/care and human-machine control systems motivate research in this field 7,8 .…”

“…In general, three configurations can be employed to produce stretchable electronics: i) rigid functional device islands and stretchable interconnects; ii) intrinsically stretchable functional device components; and iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) 4. Although conventional metals and silicon have a certain degree of deformability by combining with the various stretchable structural designs, such as buckling,5 a wavy shapes,6 and a serpentine architecture,7 these materials cannot withstand dramatic mechanical deformation. Moreover, when stretchable electronic devices are mounted on human skin or curved surfaces, the mechanical mismatches between the devices and soft human tissue will lead to response failure.…”
