Advancing wearable MXene bioelectronics to human translation.

Wearable bioelectronics are widely adopted in clinical, research, and consumer electronics for health and fitness tracking. MXenes, and Ti₃C₂T_x in particular, have emerged as ideal materials for soft, conformal, and multimodal wearable interfaces for sensing and modulating different body functions. In this talk, I will discuss our most recent works on designing, fabricating, and translating wearable MXene bioelectronics for use in humans. First, I will review how ad hoc manufacturing schemes allow leveraging the remarkable electronic, electrochemical, and magnetic properties of Ti₃C₂T_x MXene at the molecular scale, while enabling full customization of the device functionality, geometry, and area coverage. Then, I will present examples of application of MXene wearables for non-invasive brain monitoring in outpatient clinical settings and neuromuscular diagnosis and rehabilitation in Achilles tendinopathy patients.
