Combined strategies of materials design and advanced microfabrication allow the in tegration of a variety of components and devices on a stretchable platform \, resulting in functional systems with minimal constraints on the human b ody. In this presentation\, I will demonstrate a wearable multichannel pat ch that can sense a collection of signals from the human skin in a wireles s mode. Additionally\, integrating high-performance ultrasonic transducers on the stretchable platform adds a new third dimension to the detection r ange of conventional soft electronics. Ultrasound waves can penetrate the skin and noninvasively capture dynamic events in deep tissues\, such as bl ood pressure and blood flow waveforms in central arteries and veins. This stretchable platform holds profound implications for a wide range of appli cations in consumer electronics\, sports medicine\, defense\, and clinical practices.\n\nBio: Dr. Sheng Xu is currently an assistant professor in th e Department of Nanoengineering at UC San Diego.
