Real-time “on-body” monitoring of human physiological signals through wearable systems developed on flexible substrates (e-skin) is the next target in human health control and prevention, while an alternative to bulky diagnostic devices routinely used in clinics. The present work summarizes the recent trends in the development of e-skin systems. Firstly, we revised the material development for e-skin systems. Secondly, aspects related to fabrication techniques were presented. Next, the main applications of e-skin systems in monitoring, such as temperature, pulse, and other bio-electric signals related to health status, were analyzed. Finally, aspects regarding the power supply and signal processing were discussed. The special features of e-skin as identified contribute clearly to the developing potential as in situ diagnostic tool for further implementation in clinical practice at patient personal levels.

E-Skin：人体监测系统新时代的黎明


通过在柔性基板（电子皮肤）上开发的可穿戴系统对人体生理信号进行实时“体上”监测是人类健康控制和预防的下一个目标，同时也是临床中常规使用的笨重诊断设备的替代方案。目前的工作总结了电子皮肤系统发展的最新趋势。首先，我们修改了电子皮肤系统的材料开发。其次，介绍了与制造技术相关的方面。接下来分析了电子皮肤系统在监测方面的主要应用，如温度、脉搏等与健康状况相关的生物电信号。最后，讨论了电源和信号处理方面的问题。所确定的电子皮肤的特殊功能显然有助于作为原位诊断工具的开发潜力，以进一步在患者个人层面的临床实践中实施。
