Research Seminar: Skin-Interfaced Wearable Biosensors
In this talk, Professor Gao will introduce work on developing wearable biosensors for non-invasive molecular analysis. Such wearables can autonomously access body fluids (e.g., human sweat) across the activities and continuously measure a broad spectrum of analytes including metabolites, nutrients, hormones, proteins, and drugs. To manufacture these high-performance nanomaterial-based wearable biosensors at a large scale and minimal cost, we employ techniques such as laser engraving, inkjet printing, and 3D printing. The clinical utility of our wearable systems is assessed through a series of human trials, focusing on precision nutrition, stress and mental health evaluation, chronic disease management, fertility/menopause management, and drug personalisation.
He will also delve into ongoing research into energy harvesting from both the human body and the surrounding environment, with the aim of achieving battery-free, wireless wearable biosensing. The integration of these wearable technologies has the potential to unlock a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from personalised monitoring and diagnostics to innovative therapeutic solutions.
