31 October 2019 : Soft Material-Enabled Electronics for Medicine, Healthcare, and Human-Machine Interfaces

Dear Colleagues,

Soft, functional materials enable comfortable, low-profile electronic systems, including sensors, stimulators, and actuators, for applications in medicine, healthcare, and human–machine interfaces. Engineering of materials that provide a very small form factor when integrated with functional components makes extremely flexible and stretchable electronics, which can overcome the current limitations of existing electronics based on rigid, planar materials. In addition, soft electronics-enabled biosystems offer compliant, ergonomic interactions and tissue-conformal lamination with a human body for highly sensitive detection of physiological signals.

This Special Issue focuses on the use of soft, hybrid, functional materials to design and develop unobtrusive, multifunctional wearable and implantable electronics for biomedical applications. Specifically, we seek papers that discuss new soft materials, flexible/stretchable sensors, and soft actuators to advance fundamental knowledge or technology in human health monitoring, disease diagnostics, healthcare, brain–computer interactions, and human–machine interfaces.

We invite full papers, communications, and reviews that cover one or several of the listed keywords below.
