Bioadhesive Electronics and Ultrasound

This talk will focus on two technologies developed at MIT Zhao Lab: 1. bioadhesive electronics that can adhere to diverse wet dynamic organs in the body without the formation of fibrotic encapsulation on the tissue-device interfaces, and 2. bioadhesive ultrasound capable of wearable imaging diverse internal organs continuously over days. I will first discuss a set of general principles for designing bioadhesive interfaces. I will illustrate the impacts of bioadhesive electronics and ultrasound on health and biology. I will conclude the talk with a vision of merging human-machine intelligence for a better world.
