Abstract:
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 advances in microneedle systems for controlled drug delivery
of multiple drugs with different dose rates, and for minimally invasive sampling of
interstitial fluid for biosensing. In the ingestible domain, the talk will introduce
swallowable capsules for gastrointestinal sensing and spatially resolved sampling of the
gut microbiome, offering new insight into host–microbe interactions beyond what fecal
testing can provide.
Together, these technologies point toward a future of personalized, real-time health
monitoring and intervention, reshaping how we detect disease and manage care.
