Journal ArticleDOI

Highly flexible, wearable, and disposable cardiac biosensors for remote and ambulatory monitoring.

TL;DR: Theoretical analyses of system-level bending mechanics show the advantages of WiSP’s flexible electronics, soft encapsulation layers and bioadhesives, enabling intimate skin coupling, and its physical attributes and performance results demonstrate its utility for monitoring cardiac signals during daily activity, exertion and sleep.
