Moving one step closer to developing electronic skin, Yonggang Huang, a Northwestern University professor and John A. Rogers, a University of Illinois professor, have created a thin, flexible eletronic patch for sophisticated wireless health monitoring.
The patch moves and stretches with the body and incorporates commercial, off-the-shelf chip-based electronics.
Once these patches become inexpensive and disposable, I can see a wide variety of applications that go beyond the medical and health monitoring field.
