Wearable devices are essential in modern health care, tracking vital signs but challenging to test due to the complexities of human skin. Variability in skin's electrical properties influenced by hydration, age, and environmental factors complicates accurate testing. Current artificial skin models fall short, leading to inconsistent results in human trials which are costly and ethical concerns. To enhance the testing process, scientists developed a biomimetic skin phantom that closely mimics human skin's electrical behavior, comprising two layers to replicate surface and deeper tissue properties, thus streamlining sensor validation.
The biomimetic skin phantom developed by scientists is a model that mimics the electrical behavior of human skin, improving wearable sensor testing efficiency and reliability.
Existing artificial skin models have not succeeded in fully mimicking the behavior of real skin during interactions with wearable sensors, creating challenges for reliable testing.
Testing wearable health devices often includes ethical questions regarding human participant involvement, making the development of artificial models like biomimetic skin phantoms significant.
The two-layer structure of the biomimetic skin phantom captures the nuances of skin's surface and deeper tissues, allowing for much greater research fidelity.
