WHAT IS SKIN TECHNOLOGY ?

Biology and Electronics gives access to a

new and upcoming technology

This has led to the development of a superthin and highly flexible material like a tattoo,

embedded with a wireless electronic chip to

be stuck on human skin

HOW IT WORKS

Uses high-performance epidermal electronicsystem

Easy to use, flexible and gives the comfort of a

temporary tattoo

The electronic patches bend, stretch, anddeform with the same mechanical properties of

skinWorks through an electrostatic phenomenon

called the Van Der Waals force

SENSOR WORKING

Van Der Waals force - causes molecules and

surfaces to stick together without interfering

with motion

Like a temporary tattoo, water-soluble sheet of

plastic is attached to the body

The sensor mounts on it which is brushed with

water

sensors, light-emitting

tiny transmitters andreceivers and

networks of carefully

crafted wire filaments

DESIGN ISSUES

It is small and nearly weightless

Less than 50 micrometers i.e. thick - less than

th

e diameter of ah

umanh

air There are also tiny solar cells which can

generate power or get energy from

electromagnetic radiation

LIMITATIONS

Skin constantly produces new cells, the surface

cells die and are brushed off, so a new sensor

would need to be attached at least every

fortnight.

CONCLUSION

With advancements in technology over time

and the combination of various fields of

research like chemical and medical with

electro sciences, this technology is expectedto play a crucial role in presenting a better

sophistication to human race.
