The study, led by Washington State University researchers, demonstrates that electrodes can be made using just screen printing, creating a stretchable, durable circuit pattern that can be transferred to fabric and worn directly on human skin. Such wearable electronics can be used for health monitoring in hospitals or at home.

"We wanted to make flexible, wearable electronics in a way that is much easier, more convenient and lower cost," said corresponding author Jong-Hoon Kim, associate professor at the WSU Vancouver's School of Engineering and Computer Science. "That's why we focused on screen printing: it's easy to use. It has a simple setup, and it is suitable for mass production."
