From ultra-thin sensors that monitor body functions to lab-on-a-chip for quick tests at the patient’s bedside: Printed electronic components expand the possibilities of medical diagnostics. LOPEC, the leading international exhibition and conference for the printed electronics industry in Munich, will provide information about new developments in that area from 19 to 21 March 2019.
The 5th annual Innovations in Large-Area Electronics Conference (innoLAE 2019) will be held at the Wellcome Genome Campus Conference Centre, Cambridge, UK on 22-23 January 2019. The conference programme highlights the most innovative and exciting aspects of large-area electronics (LAE), a new way of making electronics that includes printable, flexible, plastic, organic and bio electronics.
L'Oréal (Clichy, France) recently announced that La Roche-Posay My Skin Track UV—the first battery-free wearable electronic to measure UV exposure—is now available through Apple. This marks the first time My Skin Track UV, which was developed by L'Oréal’s Technology Incubator and unveiled at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, will be available to consumers in the US. With a precise sensor that measures individual UV levels and a companion app that tracks exposure to pollution, pollen, and humidity, the launch of My Skin Track UV allows users to make more informed choices when it comes to their skin.
