Development of Biological Data Monitoring System by Using Flexible Electronic Sheet.

Abstract

In this research, we developed a biological data monitoring system by using a flexible electronic sheet. Flexible electronic sheets have some excellent properties. They are very flexible because of their thinness. In addition, they are composed of biocompatible materials. Therefore, they can be applied for cellular tissue. Flexible electronic sheets can be attached to measuring objects closely. Therefore, the contact area is widened. Thus, the measuring accuracy is expected to be improved. In this study, we apply it to human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes for monitoring the field potential of them. We designed an electrode pattern which arranged positive poles and negative poles closely and succeeded in measuring the field potential with a low noise by using this electrode pattern.
