Epidermal Electronics: Wireless, Battery‐Free Epidermal Electronics for Continuous, Quantitative, Multimodal Thermal Characterization of Skin (Small 47/2018)

Abstract

In article number 1803192, Philipp Gutruf, John A. Rogers, and co-workers present a soft, miniaturized, battery-free, near-field communication-based sensor that measures the temperature and thermal transport properties of the skin. The wireless epidermal device yields continuous data streams over extended periods of wear with measurements of skin hydration, blood perfusion, and rates of healing after trauma.
