Abstract
The ICT system to collect and manage the personal health information is a low cost efficient medical system indispensable to the coming aging society. The wristband-shaped wearable health monitoring tools are attracting attention, and are already going to form the steadfast market. In order to realize "unconscious health sensing" by minimizing the presence of sensor devices, novel device technologies for super-miniaturization with improving biocompatibility are necessary to be developed. In this talk, I will briefly overview the present conditions of sensor devices used for e-health care and a trend of the device development towards "unconscious health sensing" at first. Then I will explain wet device technologies we recently developed. The techniques for patterning electrodes on hydrogel and power generation with enzymes will combined to develop a patch-type, totally organic sensing tool.
