Highly stretchable and customizable microneedles that revolutionize the interface between human bodies and invasive monitoring devices have been developed through
The revolution in personalized medicine is well underway – with wearable devices and DIY home testing, it’s easier than ever to track everything from heart rate, to glucose levels, to microbiome diversity. The new “soft” microneedle electrodes are highly desirable in the case of muscle tissues and skin tissues that “deform” or change shape. Electrodes need to follow the deformations of the target tissues to ensure intimate contact and minimize tissue damage; Zhao’s research paves the way for advances in microneedles that can sense ever-deeper into tissues and gain more accurate results.
The wider global biomedical applications of the results were immediately clear to Zhao and his team of researchers. This platform technology can be used for the sensing and control of brain and nerve activities, electrochemical sensing of skin interstitial fluids, diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, and drug delivery into deep tissues.
