Optimized connections for tattoo skin-contact electrodes toward real use in health monitoring: new publication in Sensors

A new open access paper by S. Taccola et al. about skin-contact Temporary Tattoo Electrodes (TTEs). The study is part of a collaboration of our former group at CMBR IIT – Italian Institute of Technology, Pontedera (Italy) with the company MEDEL Gmbh, Innsbruck (Austria). The study investigates skin-contact tattoo electrodes in various bio-electric signals recording applications, such as bioimpedance for respiration monitoring. Novel methods for realizing  a repositionable, long-term stable and robust interconnection of TTEs with external “docking” devices are presented. A further step forward toward the real use of our tattoo interfaces in health monitoring!

Tattooable OLEDs: new publication in Advanced Electronic Materials

OLED tattoo cross section & transfer on bottle

A new paper by Jonathan Barsotti et al. about Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) on temporary tattoo. The study is a collaboration with groups of Dr. Virgilio Mattoli (CMBR IIT, Italy) and Prof. Franco Cacialli (UCL, London, UK). Ultrathin tattooable OLEDS are presented which can be transferred onto various target surfaces maintaining their functionality.

Publication  in Advanced Electronic Materials:

Ultrathin, Ultra‐Conformable, and Free‐Standing Tattooable Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes

Jonathan Barsotti, Alexandros G. Rapidis, Ikue Hirata, Francesco Greco, Franco Cacialli, Virgilio Mattoli
