“…In addition to overcoming the inconsistent and unreliable interface of rigid electronics, soft electronics also maintain low profiles, intimate contact, and a robust interface with the dynamic human body. The superior mechanical properties of soft skin-mountable electronics have enabled usage in numerous applications such as health monitors, [189] HMIs, [17,20,22,89,154,213,[215][216][217] medical implants, [11,125,150,[218][219][220][221][222][223] wearable IoT, [224][225][226][227] and artificial skin. [11,15,38,40,154,219,[228][229][230][231] Though soft skin-mountable electronics are promising alternatives to the existing technologies, as discussed in this review, to realize soft health monitors and HMIs with both high performance and uniformity is still challenging.…”

Conventional bulky and rigid electronics prevent compliant interfacing with soft human skin for health monitoring and human–machine interaction, due to the incompatible mechanical characteristics. To overcome the limitations, soft skin‐mountable electronics with superior mechanical softness, flexibility, and stretchability provide an effective platform for intimate interaction with humans. In addition, soft electronics offer comfortability when worn on the soft, curvilinear, and dynamic human skin. Herein, recent advances in soft electronics as health monitors and human–machine interfaces (HMIs) are briefly discussed. Strategies to achieve softness in soft electronics including structural designs, material innovations, and approaches to optimize the interface between human skin and soft electronics are briefly reviewed. Characteristics and performances of soft electronic devices for health monitoring, including temperature sensors, pressure sensors for pulse monitoring, pulse oximeters, electrophysiological sensors, and sweat sensors, exemplify their wide range of utility. Furthermore, the soft electronic devices for prosthetic limb, household object, mobile machine, and virtual object control are presented to highlight the current and potential implementations of soft electronics for a broad range of HMI applications. Finally, the current limitations and future opportunities of soft skin‐mountable electronics are also discussed.

The treatment, diagnosis, and monitoring of diseases have attracted more and more attention in recent years. Healthcare electronics help effectively treat and real-time monitor diseases. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) show great potential for healthcare applications because of their superiority including low cost, flexible structures, and self-powered property. Herein, the recent key advancements in TENG-based healthcare applications are comprehensively reviewed. TENGs could not only harvest the mechanical energy from the body to make electrical stimulation but also generate different electrical signals in response to external stimuli. Integrated systems combined with TENGs and other sensors could also promote sensing stability. The materials, structures, working mechanisms, and performance of each application are discussed. The existing limitations and prospects for further TENG-based healthcare are finally put forward.

“…As the most efficient power sources, textile substrate-based TENGs are fabricated for the features of simple structure, wide material choices, and low cost [32][33][34][35][36][37]. Series efforts have been made to develop fabric TENGs for harvesting mechanical energy induced from body motions to sustainably drive wearable electronics [34,38]. Lee et al reported an electrical response of a textile substrate-based TENG including nanostructured surface provided by Al nanoparticles and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) [32].…”

The increasing needs to power trillions of sensors and devices for the Internet of Things require effective technology to harvest small-scale energy from renewable natural resources. As a new energy technology, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can harvest ambient mechanical energy and convert it into electricity for powering small electronic devices continuously. In this chapter, the fundamental working mechanism and fundamental modes of a TENG will be presented. It can harvest all kinds of mechanical energy, especially at low frequencies, such as human motion, walking, vibration, mechanical triggering, rotating tire, wind, moving automobile, flowing water, rain drops, ocean waves, and so on. Such variety of energy harvesting methods promises TENG as a new approach for small-scale energy harvesting.
