Development of wearable, implantable, and point-of-care systems to assay human performance, infectious disease, and metabolism. Investigations into organic, biological, and conventional electronics to mimic, augment, integrate, or monitor biological systems.
Bioelectronics
Wearables &
Implantables
The necessary technologies for realizing wearable electrochemical sensing arebeginning translation into demonstrable integrated systems. With the National Science Foundation's Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST), we have developed and tested integrated multimodal systems for the deployment of both electrochemical and photonic sensing on a wearable platform. As these systems mature, we have started the design transition to insertable/implantable systems. Whereas biopotential and biophotonic signals can be suitably recorded with completely passive wearables, biochemical signals have limited availability using non-invasive methods. We foresee teh future of real-time pysiological monitoring as dependant on the transitioning to insertable/implantable form factors..
Health & Environmental Tracker
ASSIST’s Health and Environmental Tracker (HET) systems integrate low-power physiological and environmental sensors into unique wearable devices that provide monitoring opportunities not previously available. These devices also support development of future self-powered systems. The integrated multimodal systems include the necessary potentiostats and optoelectronics to operate a suite of sensors.
