This webinar will focus on printed flexible electronics and its potential for applications in the healthcare sector. Printed electronics opens the way to manufacturers for bringing to the market less invasive and more seamless medical devices, which can highly impact in improving the quality of life. This kind of wireless electronics can be programmed and adapted to each patient’s needs, a necessary step towards a more personalised medicine.
This session will be divided into two parts: a presentation of the functional printing technology in terms of materials, curing methods and benefits, and an explanation of how printed electronics have been applied to Optogenerapy project.
