Abstract

This chapter illustrates a series of liquid metal printed biomedical sensor systems, particularly for quantitative measurement of various physiological signals. By virtue of the low melting point, the introduced liquid metal ink makes it possible for the direct writing or printing of the biomedical circuits in a moment. Unlike the prior art, the current fabrication process appears rather straightforward, labor-saving and cost-effective. This is expected to fulfill certain increasing needs in the coming home or society health care. In some cases, the developed sensors have already displayed rather beneficial properties.
