Green Flexible Electronics for Sustainable Healthcare

Flexible electronics, or flex circuits, involve the construction of electrical circuits using flexible plastic substrates, such as polyimide, PEEK, or transparent conductive polyester sheets. Flexible electronic assemblies are made using a variety of manufacturing techniques, including printing, laminating, and deposition, which enables the circuit board to bend or take on a desired shape. They allow the user to create extremely flexible, light-weight, and thin electronic components such as batteries, screens, and sensors. Green Flexible Electronics for Sustainable Healthcare discusses incorporating flexible and printed electronics in the field of sustainable healthcare. It details how to utilise natural materials in the design, fabrication and application of flexible electronic-based wearables and sensors. It also offers a detailed analysis of the effects and challenges of integrating flexible electronics within the healthcare ecosystem. Green Flexible Electronics for Sustainable Healthcare considers the implications of the advances in flexible electronics with regards data privacy, security and scalability.
