Epidermal Electronics for Continuous Pregnancy Monitoring

Todd Coleman of the University of California, San Diego in the U.S. along with John Rogers of the University of Illinois will develop wireless tattoo-like electronics to continuously monitor vital signs of the pregnant mother and fetus. The devices have the potential to be inexpensively mass produced, which could advance epidemiological studies of preterm birth.
