Flexible
devices are gradually emerging as an alternative viable low-cost user-friendly
technology for wearable health care services in different fields. Some of the
attractive features of flexible devices are the integration of multiple sensing
units with electronic circuits for any planar and non-planar mounting surfaces.
With the advancement of flexible technologies, now the devices can be
fabricated with superior response characteristics comparable to the
conventional silicon IC technology. The purpose of the present book is to
provide the readers with a single platform to develop a system using flexible
sensors integrating with interfacing/signal conditioning, data conversion and
communication circuits.
