Biostamp

 

John Rogers, a materials science professor at the University of Illinois with a bold vision: Someday, he believes, we will all have sensors on our bodies that send information to a mobile phone, similar to the way a car’s sensors feed the vehicle’s computer.

While all biostamps have a few common characteristics—they stretch like skin, include flexible circuits, and can be powered wirelessly— different functions require different sensors. The butterfly sensor on the left is designed to monitor exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, the center sensor uses sensitive dyes to detect chemicals in sweat, and the sensor at the right uses electronic circuitry to measure blood pressure.

Other research going on is :

Takao Someya is leading a group at the University of Tokyo that’s working to develop electronic skin made of organic semiconductors and carbon nanotubes. Zhenan Bao at Stanford is also working with organic semiconductors to develop an electronic film that would be as sensitive as human skin and could be applied over robotic limbs. And researchers at the University of California, San Diego, are developing inks that would allow scientists to draw sensors directly onto the skin.

BioStampRC^™ is the first research system designed for the human body. The BioStampRC system features the groundbreaking technology of the BioStamp® Sensor, a body-worn sensor so flexible and soft that it naturally conforms to the contours of the human body. BioStampRC Sensors are discreet, allowing study subjects to move from lab to home, through exercise and sleep, remaining unaffected by the tightly-coupled Sensors capturing a wealth of data.

The BioStampRC system is seamlessly integrated into the researcher workflow through easily accessible tablet and web applications. Simple online study setup and on-demand pricing save valuable time and resources, enabling researchers to spend more time on finding insights.
