Abstract

Skin-interfaced electronics have drawn significant attention over the past decade due to their unparalleled potential in healthcare applications, offering intimate integration with the human body. Soft materials composed of elastic polymer matrices embedded with functional nanoparticles, termed “soft nanocomposite”, have emerged as a promising strategy to achieve soft platform. Through structural engineering of these soft materials, strain-invariant wireless skin-interfaced systems have been realized, laying the groundwork for practical operation in real-world, dynamically changing environments. To highlight the potential applications in digital healthcare, system-level integration of soft bioelectronic platforms, including a bionic band capable of real-time physiological signal monitoring with long-range wireless communication, as well as a more advanced, high-performance multimodal sensor system were designed for practical medical applications.
