Article Synopsis
  • - This study presents a new type of flexible electrode array designed for non-invasive monitoring of cervical nerve activity, using silver-silver chloride electrodes and a custom data acquisition system with real-time visualization.
  • - Preliminary tests showed that this electrode design provides a high signal-to-noise ratio for capturing cervical neural recordings, and it has been named Cervical Electroneurography (CEN).
  • - The research identified distinct firing patterns during stress tests on the autonomic nervous system, suggesting potential for future development of a portable CEN device for tracking autonomic regulation changes in both healthy individuals and patients with clinical conditions.

Current technologies for managing acute and chronic pain have focused on reducing the time required for achieving high therapeutic efficiency. Herein a wearable transdermal patch is introduced, employing an acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) methodology, as an effective noninvasive transdermal platform, for a fast local delivery of the anesthetic agent lidocaine. The skin-worn patch consists of a flexible drug reservoir containing hundreds of micropores loaded with lidocaine, and mixed with the perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion.

Despite tremendous recent efforts, noninvasive sweat monitoring is still far from delivering its early analytical promise. Here, we describe a flexible epidermal microfluidic detection platform fabricated through hybridization of lithographic and screen-printed technologies, for efficient and fast sweat sampling and continuous, real-time electrochemical monitoring of glucose and lactate levels. This soft, skin-mounted device judiciously merges lab-on-a-chip and electrochemical detection technologies, integrated with a miniaturized flexible electronic board for real-time wireless data transmission to a mobile device.
