This could revolutionize objective monitoring of stroke movements. Then we could maybe know exactly what we did to recover and make it repeatable. But never mind, NO ONE will follow up with this to make stroke sensors for survivors and therapists because we have NOTHING in stroke leadership or strategy.
New Flexible Electronic Films for Body-Worn Medical Devices
At the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland researchers have created a new method for making stretchable electronics that may end up being integrated into wearables and medical devices. The prototype films can stretch up to four times their original shape and relax back without suffering any degradation in its electrical properties.
The researchers’ main achievement was achieving in making very narrow wires out of liquid metal (gold/gallium alloy) that bend along with the rest of the film but do not break down into individual pieces.. They’re only a few nanometers in width, and so can be used to connect multiple components within a single larger flexible device.
Here’s more about the new stretchable electronic films:
