“In 2012, the global market for biochemical sensors alone is $8.8 billion dollars”
Description
Printed electronics for healthcare and beauty encompasses stretchable,
flexible, conformal and sometimes biodegradable electronics and electrics. It
is very thin and lightweight, even in hybrid constructions that, for now,
incorporate conventional integrated circuits (IC), light emitting diodes (LED)
and other chips in a partly printed device in order to perform functions not
yet possible with entirely printed surfaces. Saving up to 40% of cost, space
and weight and making new things possible are typical achievements. This is
the only up to date, comprehensive report on this rapidly emerging technology
and covers; electronic medical implants, patches, disposables, and drug and
cosmetic dispensing: stretchable, flexible, wide area, low cost, disposable
electronics.
Printed and potentially printed thin film electronics provides many benefits
in healthcare and beauty including low cost in many cases, even to the point
of disposability, and greatly enhanced functionality in other cases.
Frequently, it makes new things possible. It does this in two ways. It is the
basis of totally new components relying on new physical principles, examples
including metamaterials and memristors. Secondly it makes possible the
creation of new devices such as self-powered implants that never need a
battery to be replaced. Battery replacement by surgical procedure causes up to
3% of fatalities.
All this addresses the modern needs of healthcare in the private house and
on-the-go and more effective, affordable healthcare and beauty products that
are easier to use, unobtrusive, greener, automatic and safer. The greying of
the population and lack of staff and facilities for conventional healthcare
are addressed.
This new technology takes an increasing variety of forms from implants to
smart skin patches, radio frequency identification (RFID) and smart packaging.
The human interface is improved with sound, moving images, light emitting
graphics and so on. Other functions achieved are as widely different as
automatic drug delivery and anticounterfeiting. Multiple benefits are
commonplace. In a drug trial, recording which pill was removed, when, and
plotting this helps patients to do better - get well sooner - and reduces the
amount of corrupt data.
