A Stick on Electronic Device was Created to Monitor Human Vital Signs

These microelectronics are able to wrinkle, bend, and twist along with skin without breaking or coming loose.
A flexible electronic device stuck on the skin could provide irritation-free monitoring of heart, brain, and muscle activity.
Researchers have made stretchable, ultrathin electronics that cling to skin like a temporary tattoo and can measure electrical activity from the body.
These electronic tattoos could allow doctors to diagnose and monitor conditions like heart arrhythmia or sleep disorders noninvasively.
John A. Rogers, a professor of materials science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has developed the prototype that can replicate the monitoring abilities of bulky electrocardiograms and other medical devices that are normally restricted to a clinical or laboratory setting. This work was presented today in Science magazine.
