Abstract

A soft, stretchable, multifunctional bioelectronic interface can be used to monitor and/or modulate an entire organ, such as a stomach, heart, bladder, or spinal cord. The interface's softness translates to reduced mechanical mismatch with the tissue, and the interface's stretchability reduces interfacial stress with dynamically expanding and contracting organs. The electronics are stretchable thanks in part to liquid-metal conductors sealed within hollow channels of elastomeric fibers embedded in the interface.…
