Multifunctional Sensing Schemes and Smart Materials for (Bio)chemical Wearables: Integration with a Smartphone Platform

This talk will present current progress on our development of smart sensing materials and sensing schemes aimed at integration on multifunctional (bio)chemical wearable devices. A holistic approach is adopted when designing analyte sensitive functional materials, that accounts for use on a resource limited platform (limited energy, limited sample, limited processing) as is often the case with wearable devices [1]. Our research aim has been to adopt and adapt textiles & paper as sensing/sampling materials, with appropriate chemical modification including covalent immobilisation and click-chemistry approach. An overview of low-cost printed chemistries for immobilisation on paper and textiles for optical sensing will be presented. Lastly, the talk will introduce our NFC-based smartphone platform, and its recent application in smart bandages [2, 3] and T-shirts as wearables for wound and sweat monitoring.
