Epidermal Wireless Sensors on Releasable Films for Biophysical Signal Measurement on Facial Areas

Abstract

This paper presents an ultrathin stretchable device capable of soft lamination onto the skin with a releasable film for wireless measurement of biophysiological signal on skin. The device contains metallic electrodes and graphite strips, and can be attached to multiple skin locations in a conformal manner. Experimental results demonstrate that the device offers ease of skin releasing with reliable biopotential and strain measurement capability. This device when combined with other sensing mechanisms can yield a comprehensive sleep evaluation system capable of revealing influencing factors that are specific to a person, allowing highly individualized treatment plans for patients with sleep disorders.
