Abstract: This invention relates to apparatuses and methods for non-invasively measuring physiological parameters of a mammal subject using easily removable flexible electronics, and applications of the same. Specifically, a novel sensor class with a pre-curved architecture and strategically located perforations that may be used in apparatuses and methods for measuring physiological parameters of a mammal subject. Further, adhesive layers are used to attach the sensor systems on the skin of the mammal subject, and each adhesive layer is switchable chemically or physically between an adhesive state and a non-adhesive state, allowing easy removal of the corresponding sensor system from the skin of the mammal subject when being switched to the non-adhesive state.

Abstract: A system for stimulating tissue generally comprises a resorbable implant. The resorbable implant includes a substrate, at least one contact, and a transceiver, wherein the substrate, the at least one contact, and the transceiver are resorbable. The system also includes a controller configured to communicate with the transceiver of the resorbable implant and a power supply connected to the controller. The controller delivers power to the resorbable implant from the power supply. The resorbable implant delivers electrical stimulation to tissue when the resorbable implant receives power.

Abstract: A device implantable on a target of interest of a subject for pacemaker, neuromodulator, and/or defibrillator therapy comprises a wireless power harvesting unit configured to deliver power via resonant inductive coupling to the target tissue for stimulation in a manner that eliminates need for batteries and allows for externalized control without transcutaneous leads. The device relies exclusively on materials that resorb when exposed to biofluids in a time-controlled manner via metabolic action and hydrolysis. The materials and design choices create a thin, flexible, and lightweight form that maintain excellent biocompatibility and stable function throughout a desired period of use. Over a subsequent timeframe following the completion of therapy, the devices disappear completely through natural biological processes. These characteristics and a miniaturized geometry facilitate full implantation into the body to eliminate the need for percutaneous hardware, which thereby minimizes the risk of device-associated infections and dislodgement.

Abstract: The provided systems, methods and devices describe lightweight, wireless tissue monitoring devices that are capable of establishing conformal contact due to the flexibility or bendability of the device. The described systems and devices are useful, for example, for skin-mounted intraoperative monitoring of nerve-muscle activity. The present systems and methods are versatile and may be used for a variety of tissues (e.g. skin, organs, muscles, nerves, etc.) to measure a variety of different parameters (e.g. electric signals, electric potentials, electromyography, movement, vibration, acoustic signals, response to various stimuli, etc.).

Abstract: Provided are conformable devices to measure subdermal fluid flow and related methods. A soft, stretchable and flexible substrate supports a thermal actuator and various specially positioned temperature sensors. A microprocessor in electronic communication with sensors calculates subdermal fluid flow from the measured upstream and downstream temperatures, as well as various application-dependent parameters. Devices and methods provided herein are particularly useful for measuring cerebral spinal fluid in a ventricular shunt placed for treatment of hydrocephalus.

Abstract: The invention provides systems for handling biofluids including the transport, capture, collection, storage, sensing, and/or evaluation of biofluids released by tissue. Systems of some aspects provide a versatile platform for characterization of a broad range of physical and/or chemical biofluid attributes in real time and over clinically relevant timeframes. Systems of some aspects provide for collection and/or analysis of biofluids from conformal, watertight tissue interfaces over time intervals allowing for quantitative temporal and/or volumetric characterization of biofluid release, such as release rates and release volumes.
