Abstract:
In the latest years, the need of a renewed paradigm for healthcare arose promoting the research towards the idea of remote diagnosis, care and monitoring of physiological parameters. Thus, the wearable and eskin devices arose to be embedded in the standard medical equipment. In this work, a preliminary study on flexible AJP-printed temperature sensors is reported in order to propose a novel approach to evaluate infection sites, monitor the body temperature and compensate the effects of temperature on other on-body sensors. Two different geometries are proposed, designed, produced, evaluated and compared. The results shown a similar dependance on temperature (average TCR = 2.5 ∙ 10 - 3 °C-1) and the dependance on substrate deformation was enquired as well as the geometrical features of the sensors.
