DESCRIPTION:Wearable biosensors that analyse biological fluids on the skin
  are attracting attention because they are useful for monitoring health an
 d diseases. One of the major technical challenges in wearable biosensors i
 s interfacing the device with the skin and biological fluid present in sma
 ll volumes. Hiroyuki Kai will discuss his recent efforts to develop materi
 als that could solve this problem. The key materials include (1) porous po
 lymer microneedles for the efficient epidermal interface and bio sensing a
 nd (2) space-filling open microfluidics aimed at collecting perspiration o
 n the skin.
