Illinois and NIH researchers develop ultrathin “diagnostic skin” for continuous monitoring

Subtle variations in temperature can indicate harmful underlying conditions such as constriction or dilation of blood vessels or dehydration. Even changes in mental activity, such as increased concentration while solving a mathematical equation, are accompanied by measureable changes in body temperature.

University of Illinois researchers and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering have developed a sophisticated, continous temperature measuring ”electronic skin” that adheres non-invasively to human skin, conforms well to contours, and provides a detailed temperature map of any surface of the body.

The temperature sensor array is a variation of a technology developed by Professor John Rogers at the University of Illinois called “epidermal electronics,” consisting of ultrathin, flexible skin-like arrays, which resemble a tattoo of a micro-circuit board. The arrays developed with NIBIB contain sensors and heating elements. The technology offers the potential for a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities with little patient discomfort.
