Abstract
Wearable skin-like optoelectronics, built-in thin-film semiconductors with plastic substrates, offer a range of unprecedented opportunities for widespread applications due to naturally conformal and compatibility with unusual geometries, such as the human skins or rollable substrates. The better interface to the human skin allows such optoelectronics to improve the quality of human life and develop a route for biomedical application.

In this talk, I will introduce the current works on wearable skin-like optoelectronics, including structure designs, fabrication, and biomedical applications. The mechanical and optical analysis for designing high-performance, flexible and stretchable inorganic semiconductors are described. Then advances in transfer printing techniques via droplet stamps are examined for efficiently fabricating skin-like optoelectronics. The applications for monitoring human blood oxygen saturation and blood pressure are demonstrated via clinical experiments. The results are compared with the golden standard acquired by invasive (intra-arterial) blood pressure (IBP) monitoring for more than 1500 minutes on 44 subjects in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The maximum absolute errors of diastolic and systolic blood pressure are ±7/±10 mmHg respectively in immobilized, and ±10/±14 mmHg in walking scenarios, respectively.
