The identification of novel physiological biomarkers requires real-time human monitoring using advanced soft, flexible, and hypoallergenic materials and devices. Therefore, imperceptible and reliable daily monitoring depends on mechanically and biologically compatible interfaces to securely perform long-term advanced biosensing. I will present our latest work on developing versatile electronic biosensing interfaces for electrophysiological and sweat monitoring, employing a sustainable approach in the development of organic bioelectronic materials and devices. With the progress of additive manufacturing, traditional coating techniques together with advanced 3D printing have demonstrated new opportunities for monolithic integration of sensing devices within garments [1]. Remaining research-level progress, yet with a high capability for scale production, these devices enable continuous tracking of physiological responses triggered by environmental conditions. Developing circular-use strategies for active materials, along with enhancing the reusability of biocompatible elastomers, helps reduce the growing volume of medical-device waste—a problem intensified by the surge in commercial health gadgets and heightened cross-contamination concerns in clinical settings.
This work was performed with the support of ID Fab at the Centre Microélectronique de Provence (Project funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the French state and local authorities). This research contributes to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Health at Ecole des Mines de St. Etienne and Institut Mines Télécom.
