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. It looks at how
technologies such as NFC are impacting healthcare provision.

New Enabling Technology - but what
are the real opportunities vs hype?
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.
