This seminar will present a vision for “human-in-the-loop” precision medicine enabled by emerging wearable, nearable, and ingestible bioelectronics. The talk will highlight thread-based diagnostic platforms—including sweat-sensing bandages, saliva-sensing floss, and smart sutures for monitoring wound healing—that integrate seamlessly with the body and daily routine for continuous biochemical and physiological sensing. The seminar will also cover...
