E-skin – Based advanced wearable technology for Health Management

The natural barrier that separates us from our surroundings is our skin. It enables us to experience a range of forms of sensations, temperature variations, and different levels of touch pressure. Because human skin is so instinctive, it's simple to overlook the intricacy of the body's primary sensory organ. Our skin contains a variety of diverse, highly specialized sense receptors that enable it to perceive functions from our surroundings efficiently and securely with great precision. These receptors, by making use of an integrated flexible system, convert physical contact information into electrical impulses before sending it to the nervous system for further involved interpretation. Electronic skin, i.e., E-skin also referred to as e-skin or synthetic skin, is a very thin electrical material made by fusing electronic components to elastic, pliable substrates that are made with efforts of mimicking the potentials of human skin. E-skin is a cutting-edge technology that is largely used for medicinal purposes, such as detecting and perceiving internal life sign processes in living beings, as well as their unprecedented monitoring. To explore the aspects of E-skin for health wellness, this article explores recent advancements in different E-skin technologies, properties of the materials used in e-skin fabrication, and its future potential.
