Conclusion
Electronic plays a very important role in developing
simple devices used for any purpose.

Material which mimics the Human Skin in one or

more ways

The best achievement as well the future example of

integrated electronics in the medical field is the
electronic skin.
WHAT IS ELECTRONIC SKIN ?
It made from biocompatible silicon rubber with
pressure sensitive sensors.

It can measure electrical activity of the heart, brain

waves and other vital signs.

Ultra thin skin turn on hand

e-skin can be directly laminated on the surface of the

skin, allowing us to electronically functionalize human
skin.

It attaches to the skin like a stick-on tattoo.

 2010:
a) attaching nanowire transistor to sticky substrate,
embedded in thin pressure sensitive rubber capable
of sensing wide range of pressure (california
university)

b) First prototype for e-skin

 2011:
a) a) stretchable solar cell used to power the electronic
skin (stanford).
2012:
a) self healing capacity
b) Made by nickel and plastic
Antenna is used to transmit the recorded
electrical signals of skin to the receiver.

Strain gauges are used for measuring the

signals generated by the heart.

Temperature sensors are used for measuring

the temperature.
It takes the signals from the body and transfer
them to the device.

Localized electrical stimulation: “smart bandage”:

temperature changes across the wound.

Muscle contractions in the neck can control the

mouse in computer game.
 Reduces wires.
 Compact in size, less in weight.
 The device is so floppy, and flexible.
Stretchable sensor system able to measure pressure

.
COST IS VERY HIGH

SINGLE USE
ROBOTICS

HEALTH APPLICATION

SMART WALLPAPERS

E-PAPERS
In future even virtual screens may be placed on the
device for knowing our body function.

It has bright future in robotics industries to make it

sensible also.
The electronic skin is one such device that
depicts the beauty of electronics and its uses
in daily life.

The electronic devices gain more demand in

the market when they are in compact in size
and best in functioning.
