We are developing the next generation of bio-integrated electronics—conformal, self-powered ionic interfaces that merge seamlessly with biological tissues.


Current Focus:
•   Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring: Creating cuffless, wearable ionic skins that measure pulse wave velocity and waveform without compression or external power
•    Implantable Interfaces: Designing hydrogel-based devices that can monitor internal organ function or neural activity


Key Advantages:
•    Biocompatibility: Particularly with hydrogels, which mimic tissue properties and minimize immune response
•    Conformality: Soft, stretchable materials that move with the body without constraining natural motion
•   Self-Powered Capability: When paired with energy harvesting capabilities, can potentially operate indefinitely without battery replacement

​

Piezoionic Enhancement: Piezoionics enables truly bio-integrated active devices that harness the body's own mechanical energy (heartbeat, respiration, movement) to power sensing and stimulation. This creates autonomous bio-electronic systems that don't require percutaneous wires or frequent battery changes, revolutionizing chronic disease management and human augmentation.
