Wearable electrochemical sensors for monitoring performance athletes

Fraser, Kevin J. orcid logoORCID: 0000-0002-9718-5405 (2011) Wearable electrochemical sensors for monitoring performance athletes. In: Invited talk Berkeley University, 19th Aug 2011, Berkeley: San Francisco.

Abstract
Nowadays, wearable sensors such as heart rate monitors and pedometers are in common use. The use of wearable systems such as these for personalized exercise regimes for health and rehabilitation is particularly interesting. In particular, the true potential of wearable chemical sensors, which for the real-time ambulatory monitoring of bodily fluids such as tears, sweat, urine and blood has not been realized. Here we present a brief introduction into the fields of ionogels and organic electrochemical transistors, and in particular, the concept of an OECT transistor incorporated into a sticking-plaster, along with a printable “ionogel” to provide a wearable biosensor platform.
