Rapidly developed printed electronics promote new possibilities for low-cost biomedical healthcare devices to continuously monitor vital biological signals. The proposed approach will combine nanotechnology, direct printing and rapid prototyping. I propose a system-level approach for the design and printing of stretchable biomedical sensor systems using functional nano-ink material. The proposed approach builds on the historical trend of how wireless sensor systems have been developed, where various micro-devices have been integrated into a single device. However, the proposed approach is novel in that it brings the printed electronics concept to the biomedical field. Printed electronics have the potential to improve functionality while reducing the costs at the system level. Recent advances in the field of flexible electronics have reached a stage of sophistication in material properties, device understanding, and reproducibility that have demonstrated both potential value and the capacity to support more challenging applications. Therefore, pivotal innovations in process-efficient printing techniques can result in an entirely new generation of E-health sensor products and devices When combined with high-resolution direct printing of functional electronic nano inks, this innovation strategy will result in a new cost-effective and precise industrial standard that supersedes the best methods in use today. This would give Canada a strategic advantage in attachable bio-medical sensors. This novel bio-sensor manufacturing project unites industry experts from NTS Research & Inc. (Coquitlam, British Columbia) and Simon Fraser University (Materials, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, and Electrical Engineering). Their aim is to develop cost-efficient printed attachable E-health sensors by redesigning manufacturing processes for process efficiency. The printing methods developed will minimize the amount of functional inks required and simultaneously reducing the volume of printed films, thereby reducing the amount of waste and disposal. By layering printed circuitry and separating different functional materials on each layer, the new manufacturing process will simultaneously reduce the need for toxic surfactants or mixing additives

快速发展的印刷电子技术为低成本生物医学医疗设备提供了新的可能性，以持续监测重要的生物信号。拟议的方法将结合联合收割机纳米技术，直接印刷和快速原型。我提出了一个系统级的方法，用于设计和印刷的可拉伸生物医学传感器系统，使用功能纳米油墨材料。所提出的方法建立在无线传感器系统如何发展的历史趋势上，其中各种微型设备已被集成到一个单一的设备中。然而，所提出的方法是新颖的，因为它带来了印刷电子概念的生物医学领域。印刷电子产品有潜力提高功能，同时降低系统级成本。柔性电子领域的最新进展在材料特性、器件理解和再现性方面已经达到了一个复杂的阶段，这已经证明了潜在的价值和支持更具挑战性的应用的能力。因此，高效印刷技术的关键创新可以产生全新一代的电子健康传感器产品和设备，当与功能性电子纳米墨水的高分辨率直接印刷相结合时，这种创新战略将产生一种新的具有成本效益和精确的工业标准，取代当今使用的最佳方法。这将使加拿大在附加生物医学传感器方面具有战略优势。 这个新颖的生物传感器制造项目联合了NTS Research & Inc.的行业专家。（不列颠哥伦比亚省的科基特拉姆）和西蒙弗雷泽大学（材料，制造，机电一体化和电气工程）。他们的目标是通过重新设计制造工艺以提高工艺效率，开发具有成本效益的印刷可连接电子健康传感器。开发的印刷方法将最大限度地减少所需的功能性油墨的量，同时减少印刷薄膜的体积，从而减少废物和处置量。通过将印刷电路分层并在每层上分离不同的功能材料，新的制造工艺将同时减少对有毒表面活性剂或混合添加剂的需求
