Wearable ultrasound bioelectronics for healthcare monitoring

Abstract

Customized and personalized healthcare, being self-administered by patients, is highly sought after in light of the increasing burdens of chronic illnesses and aging populations. Outside clinics that empower individuals to have a more prominent role in managing their health are becoming a trend due to many benefits. For example, they can reduce hospital visits and infection risk during a pandemic like COVID-19. Flexible bioelectronics, which can be mounted onto skin, attached to clothing, and even implanted into bodies (e.g., epidermal electronics, wearable electronics, and implantable electronics) are ideal candidates for this purpose.
