Kolkata, Aug 21 (UNI) Dr. Saurabh Kumar from Centre for Nanoscience and Engineering (CeNSE) at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, a recipient of the INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship, instituted by the Department of Science & Technology under the Central government , is currently working on wearable sensors that can retract information from human body using its largest organ, the skin.
Active research in the field of epidermal electronics has spawned an important class of wearable sensors that aim to deliver point of care diagnostics with comfortable and robust user experience.
Conventional medical devices are bulky, rigid, and non-practical because they do not allow continuous monitoring of vital health parameters while continuing day to day life schedule. The soft and curvilinear shape of human body needs skin like sensors that can be tattooed on the body with an easy transfer process.
