Robust power supply for soft implantable bioelectronics

Recent advances in soft bioelectronics have garnered significant attention due to their promising applications in personalized, bio-integrated healthcare systems. One of the primary challenges in this field stems from the mechanical mismatch between conventional electronic devices and the soft, dynamic nature of human tissues and organs. This mismatch often leads to issues such as low signal-to-noise ratios in biosensing, inflammatory responses or excessive immune reactions at implant sites, and insufficient electrical or chemical stimulation in feedback-based therapies. To address these issues, novel materials for ultra-flexible and stretchable electronic devices have been developed. This talk will introduce unconventional soft electronic materials and advanced device fabrication strategies, with a focus on their applications in the diagnosis and treatment of major cardiovascular diseases. The synergistic integration of multiple types of soft conductive materials, along with wireless power delivery and machine-learning-based data analytics, further expands the capabilities of these systems.
