Abstract
In this project, we successfully fabricated a sustainable health monitoring electronic patch with the use of a gas permeable adhesive coated stretchable textile. This biomedical electronic patch consists of three biomedical applications: a wireless heater, an optical blood flow monitor, and an electrophysiological sensor. The most noticeable advantage of newly developed stretchable electronics on textiles is that the electric component on textile patch is highly sustainable even under maximum tensile stress on textile with use of malleable adhesive showing out-of-plane three-dimensional buckling. In this paper, we demonstrated three biomedical applications on a new type of textile patch and we will introduce a fabrication process of the device.
