Wearable devices are increasingly prominent in healthcare, using electrode sensors to monitor various health metrics. However, creating effective electrodes is challenging due to differences in human skin's electrical conductivity, influenced by factors like hydration and age. Traditional testing methods complicate the process due to variability in skin types and ethical concerns regarding human volunteers. To improve testing reliability, scientists have developed a biomimetic skin phantom—a two-layer model imitating human skin's electrical properties, enabling more consistent, cost-effective, and ethical evaluations of wearable technology.
"Our biomimetic skin phantom is made of two layers that capture the nuances of both the skin's surface and deeper tissues, simplifying the testing of wearable devices."
"Existing artificial skin models have struggled to fully replicate human skin's behavior with wearable sensors, leading to inconsistent testing outcomes."
