The demand for wearable e-skin devices is on the rise, particularly in industries such as biomedical, surgical robotics, and brain-computer interface. These devices are crucial for real-time monitoring of health signals, offering invaluable insights for both patients and healthcare professionals. However, the existing e-skin devices face significant challenges in terms of structure and fabrication, limiting their effectiveness and usability.
One of the main challenges with current e-skin devices is their complex structure and fabrication process. Achieving high precision and accuracy in the fabrication of these devices is extremely difficult, often leading to suboptimal performance. Additionaly, existing e-skin sensors lack of sensitivity and precision required for accurate health monitoring, limiting their potential applications in the healthcare industry.
Innovation in Sensor Healthcare Technology
In a recent study titled “An Asymmetric Interlocked Structure with Modulus Gradient for Ultrawide Piezocapacitive Pressure Sensing Applications” researchers from Fudan University have developed a groundbreaking solution to these challenges. They have created a wearable e-skin sensor based on an innovative asymmetric interlocked structure with a modulus gradient, significantly improving its sensitivity and precision.
To fabricate this groundbreaking device, Fudan University researchers utilized BMF microArch® (2μm) 3D printing technology. This advanced technology enables the creation of intricate parts with exceptional precision and tolerance, overcoming challenges in structure and fabrication associated with e-skin devices. The use of 3D printing technology also allows for rapid prototyping and customization of the sensor, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in healthcare monitoring.
