This course will introduce to the main opportunities and challenges offered by printed sensors to integrate sensing elements to measure physio-pathological parameters relevant for health (biopotential, biochemical markers) using wearable devices. Below the main contents: 1) Background [3 hours] (Classification of measurable health parameters; Overview of the transducing principles: biosensors versus bioelectrodes; Overview of printed electronics techniques) 2) Biopotential measurements with printed electrodes [3 hours] (Materials and designs; Acquisition systems; Characteristics of measured signals and processing examples; Case study 1: Printed EMG electrodes using Aerosol Jet Printing) 4) Continuous measurement in biofluids using wearable devices [4 hours] (Materials and designs; Transduction and acquisition systems; Characteristics of measured signal and processing examples; Case study 2: Continuous lactate measurements using printed sensors integrated with paper-based microfluidics) The course will include both theoretical contents and examples of related research with practical demonstrations.
