Electronic Skin Patches Ensure Early Diagnosis through Remote Monitoring

 

An electronic skin patch is a wearable device which adheres to the skin. It is a stick-on patch which can be worn on the body and is capable of collecting, monitoring and transmitting various health metrics such as respiration, temperature, blood glucose, blood pressure, and heartbeat to a smartphone, wirelessly. At present there are three major types of skin patches available in the market, including transdermal patches (drug delivery through skin), remote monitoring (patient vitals and blood glucose), and bioelectric stimulation (chronic pain management).

The electronic component of the electronic skin patch includes the electronic functionality including actuators, processors, sensors, and communication, permitting the device to be linked with other devices.

The electronic skin patch is ultra-thin and flexible, and designed for next-generation information for communication with the help of microelectronics and sensors by revealing  data about body temperature, UV radiation absorption, and blood oxygen levels. It is also used for drug delivery and therapeutic interventions. It can help in reducing the healthcare cost by decreasing hospital re-admission, reducing medication non-adherence, and increasing wellness management with connected smart devices and wearables to gather and evaluate medical data.

According to the market intelligence published by BIS Research, titled “Global Electronic Skin Patches Market - Analysis and Forecast, 2019-2024”, the electronic skin patches market generated a revenue of $3,899.1 million and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17.22% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2024.
