DESCRIPTION:The skin is mechanically soft and curved\; modern electronic an
 d microfluidic technologies are rigid and planar. Eliminating this profoun
 d mismatch in physical properties will create vast opportunities in man-ma
 de systems that can naturally integrate with the epidermis\, for diagnosti
 c\, therapeutic or sensory function with important\, unique capabilities t
 hat range from fitness/wellness\, to sports performance\, clinical healthc
 are and virtual reality environments. Over the last decade\, a convergence
  of new concepts in materials science\, mechanical engineering\, electrica
 l engineering and advanced manufacturing has led to the emergence of diver
 se\, novel classes of 'biocompatible' electronic and microfluidic systems 
 with skin-like physical properties. This talk describes the key ideas and 
 presents some of the most recent device examples\, including (1) wireless\
 , battery-free electronic 'tattoos'\, with applications in continuous moni
 toring of vital signs in neonatal and pediatric intensive care\, including
  active deployments in the most advanced hospitals in the US and clinics i
 n multiple countries in Africa\, (2) microfluidic platforms that can captu
 re\, manipulate and perform biomarker analysis on microliter volumes of sw
 eat\, with applications in precise hydration management in sports and fitn
 ess\, including commercial devices featured on celebrity sports figures wi
 th Gatorade and (3) programmable vibro-haptic interfaces that create patie
 nt feedback and enhanced experiences in virtual reality environments.\n\nJ
