- Long-Lasting E-Skin Sensor – University of Tokyo researchers developed electronic sensor that can be worn on skin for one week
- Biocompatible Materials – Made of hypoallergenic, safe, and biocompatible materials, such as water-soluble polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and gold layer, compared to ultrathin films and rubber sheet materials typically used in existing wearables that lack breathability and deemed unsafe for long term use
- Flexible and Durable – Lasted after bended and stretched more than 10,000 times
- Comparable Technology – Readings of muscle electrical activity comparable to conventional gel electrodes
- Test Results – 20 test subjects reported no skin inflammation after one-week use
- Potential Applications – Include biosensors that monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar, useful for medical applications and tracking athlete physiological signs and motion
