Researchers have developed a stretchable, biodegradable, and self-healing electronic tree with multifunctional sensing capabilities, intended for use as a medical sensing patch. The patch is designed to remotely monitor patient characteristics such as body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. It combines bendable materials for the base and conduction layers, with the ability to detect temperature, pressure, and humidity. The patch has been tested successfully on lab rats and dissolves harmlessly in the body once its use is over. This innovation offers a promising solution for continuous, remote patient monitoring with biodegradable and self-healing properties.
