Flexible photonic skin

This invention describes a flexible patch designed to stick to the skin and monitor several health metrics. It uses electrodes to measure heart signals (ECG) and a special polymer-based chip to track body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and blood glucose. All these measurements are processed by the chip, and the patch is held in place by a hypoallergenic adhesive and covered by a semi-transparent film.

Why it matters: Advances in flexible polymer electronics and non-invasive optical blood glucose sensing since 2020 could simplify the complex integrated chip. This makes the ambitious combination of sensors more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPolymer-based photonic chip, microfabrication
