Bioelectronics: disease monitoring sensors that can be printed directly onto human skin

● With sensors that can be printed directly onto human skin and plant epidermis, advances in bioelectronics are paving the way for new health management and environmental monitoring platforms.
● Developed in Cambridge, spiderweb inspired sensors, which are virtually zero-waste, can be printed on demand and remain robust and functional for several hours.
● Other universities are working on projects combining electronics and living cells, among them the University of Chicago, which has developed an innovative patch for the treatment and remote monitoring of skin conditions like psoriasis.
