Abstract

This chapter presents the basic principle of the conformal epidermal printed electronics based on the liquid metal to achieve the immediate contact between skin surface and electrode. The remarkable features of the liquid metal skin electronics, such as high conformability, good conductivity, better signal stability and fine biocompatibility were discussed. A series of typical applications on disease therapy or health care were given as examples.
