Description
Printed electronics for healthcare
and beauty encompasses stretchable, flexible, conformal and sometimes
biodegradable electronics and electrics. It is very thin and lightweight, even
in hybrid constructions that, for now, incorporate conventional integrated
circuits (IC), light emitting diodes (LED) and other chips in a partly printed
device in order to perform functions not yet possible with entirely printed
surfaces. Saving up to 40% of cost, space and weight and making new things
possible are typical achievements. This is the only up to date, comprehensive
report on this rapidly emerging technology and covers; electronic medical
implants, patches, disposables, and drug and cosmetic dispensing: stretchable,
flexible, wide area, low cost, disposable electronics. It looks at how
technologies such as NFC are impacting healthcare provision.

New Enabling Technology - but what
are the real opportunities vs hype?
Printed and potentially printed thin
film electronics provides many benefits in healthcare and beauty including low
cost in many cases, even to the point of disposability, and greatly enhanced
functionality in other cases. Frequently, it makes new things possible. It does
this in two ways. It is the basis of totally new components relying on new
physical principles, examples including metamaterials and memristors. Secondly it
makes possible the creation of new devices such as self-powered implants that
never need a battery to be replaced. Battery replacement by surgical procedure
causes up to 3% of fatalities.
Printed electronics is therefore
helping to prevent sickness and reduce errors, drive down costs and
crime and improve product performance. For the user, it makes life
easier, safer and more enjoyable. To the supplier, it is an opportunity
to finally nail supply chain inefficiencies to increase market share and
profit. Sometimes, it can justify premium pricing and reinvigorate
brands, partly with packaging that becomes part of the product in a more
meaningful way and with much more sophisticated, relevant electronic
rewards incorporated. On the other hand, a niche product such as a
medical instrument can become a volume product usable by almost anyone.
This profusely illustrated report
takes a very broad view of the subject so the reader does not miss
commercial opportunities because of the relatively narrow focus of the
research community. Tables and charts compare the technical, market and
other options, navigate the jargon and reveal trends. Leveraging the
large IDTechEx database on the subject, its coverage in relevant
IDTechEx events and a wide range of personal contacts reinforced by
intensive travel, the subject is brought alive without equations or
obscure science but with the fruits of research by the highly qualified
and experienced IDTechEx team.
