目的虽然顺应性设备通常被设计为与人体耦合以实现个性化和局部医疗，但它们的应用正在迅速扩大。本文旨在描述这种扩张并预测其在不同领域的更大影响。设计/方法论/方法当今的设备技术仍然面临着根本性的障碍，无法与目标对象无缝集成，从而有效地访问、评估和改变特定的物理模式，同时仍然提供身体舒适度并实现连续的数据收集。由于其极高的机械顺应性，顺应性设备允许查询接口处发生的信号，从而以高分辨率、精确度和准确度对生物、化学和机械模式进行解码和编码。这些独特且多功能的功能使解决科学问题的方法发生了显着变化，并有能力应对整个社会挑战。研究结果 本研究重点介绍了这些设备在互动教学、纺织、机器人、建筑和基础设施、农业、气候和空间等广泛领域的现状，并进一步预测了这些设备在不久的将来的基本特征。原创性/价值 这项研究通过一种新颖的定量分析方法证明了顺应性设备不断增长的实用性，该方法根据特定关键词对同行评审的期刊文章进行索引，从而跟踪特定领域中关键词随时间变化的频率以及类似顺应性的主题。由此产生的趋势轨迹为本研究的未来预测奠定了基础。本研究最后展望了这些技术无处不在所带来的可能挑战，包括制造、无线通信、存储、压缩、隐私和数据共享、环境可持续性、避免不平等和偏见以及各个影响层面的利益相关者之间的合作。
Purpose Although conformable devices are commonly designed to couple with the human body for personalized and localized medicine, their applications are expanding rapidly. This paper aims to delineate this expansion and predict greater implications in diverse fields. Design/methodology/approach Today's device technologies continue to face fundamental obstacles preventing their seamless integration with target objects to effectively access, evaluate and alter self-specific physical patterns, while still providing physical comfort and enabling continuous data collection. Due to their extreme mechanical compliance, conformable devices permit the query of signals occurring at interfaces so as to decode and encode biological, chemical and mechanical patterns with high resolution, precision and accuracy. These unique and versatile capabilities allow for a marked change in the approach to tackling scientific questions, with the ability to address societal challenges at large. Findings Here, this study highlights the current state of these devices in a wide range of fields, such as interactive teaching, textiles, robotics, buildings and infrastructure, agriculture, climate and space, and further forecasts essential features of these devices in the near future. Originality/value This study justifies conformable devices' growing utility through a novel quantitative analysis methodology that indexes peer-reviewed journal articles based on specific keywords, whereby this study tracks keyword frequency over time across specific fields in conjunction with conformability-like topics. The resulting trends' trajectories provide the foundation for this study's future projections. This study concludes with a perspective on the possible challenges concomitant with a ubiquitous presence of these technologies, including manufacturing, wireless communication, storage, compression, privacy and sharing of data, environmental sustainability, avoidance of inequality and bias and collaboration between stakeholders at all levels of impact.
