Abstract

Sweat sensing affords monitoring essential bio-signals tailored for various well-being inspections. We present SweatSkin, the fabrication approach for customizable sweat-sensing on-skin interfaces. SweatSkin is unique in exploiting on-skin microfluidic channels to access bio-fluid secretes within the skin for personalized health monitoring. To lower the barrier to creating skin-conformable microfluidics capable of collecting and analyzing sweat, four fabrication methods utilizing accessible materials are proposed. Technical characterizations of paper- and polymer-based devices indicate that colorimetric analysis can effectively visualize sweat loss, chloride, glucose, and pH values. To support general to extreme sweating scenarios, we consulted five athletic experts on the SweatSkin devices' customization guidelines, application potential, and envisioned usages. The two-session fabrication workshop study with ten participants verified that the four fabrication methods are easy to learn and easy to make. Overall, SweatSkin is an extensible and user-friendly platform for designing and creating customizable on-skin sweat-sensing interfaces for UbiComp and HCI, affording ubiquitous personalized health sensing.

Rapid prototyping of micro-electrodes on glass and polymers by laser-assisted corrosion of aluminum films in water

Rapid prototyping of micrometer-sized aluminum electrodes on glass and sensitive polymers such as poly(dimethylsiloxane) and SU-8 using a flexible, inexpensive, one-step lithography process is demonstrated. The electrodes are patterned by low-power ...
Simple photolithographic rapid prototyping of microfluidic chips

Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted Highlights Conventional 35mm film negatives are investigated as photolithographic masks. Film contrast of 300:1 and above is achieved. Film contrast and base transparency are found to important parameters. Good SU8 ...
Laser lithography on resist bi-layer for nanoelectromechanical systems prototyping
Proceedings of the 29th international conference on micro and nano engineering

We present a laser lithography technique based on lift-off, for fast and flexible prototyping of micro and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). The technique is based on direct laser writing on substrates coated with a resist bi-layer consisting ...
