Special Issue Introduction

Skin is the largest organ of the human body, which provides a great of area for interfacing with electronics for the non-invasive detection of biophysical or biochemical signals in the applications of health care monitoring. Skin electronics is a novel wearable device that enables mounting on the skin for the aforementioned physiological signal sensing and healthcare monitoring. The development of materials and devices is significant for intelligent sensing in skin electronics.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the most recent advanced technologies for developing skin electronics in intelligent healthcare sensing. This Special Issue will provide readers with comprehensive information on the materials, mechanics, and integration schemes, as well as the state-of-the-art developments in skin electronics.

Possible topics within this scope include but are not limited to:
● Soft functional materials for skin electronics
● Soft sensors and actuators for healthcare monitoring
● Advanced processing routes for skin electronics
● Mechanics design for skin electronics
● Biomedical applications of skin electronics
