Soft Biosensor Systems Using Flexible and Stretchable Electronics Technology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Stretchable Bioelectronics for Medical Devices and Systems

Part of the book series: Microsystems and Nanosystems ((MICRONANO))

Abstract

We will review the recent progresses of large-area , ultraflexible, and ultrasoft electronic sensors. This chapter focuses on integration technologies of thin-film, ultraflexible electronics comprising ultrasoft gel electrodes, thin-film amplifier, Si-LSI wireless platform, thin-film battery, and information engineering, which are imperceptible active sensors. Here we would like to demonstrate the applications of the patch-type wearable biosignal sensors including brain wave (Electroencephalogram: EEG) monitoring from a forehead. Furthermore, this chapter will review the technologies for realizing the new era of electronic system, that is, Internet of Things (IoT.)
