Advanced wireless soft electronics integrate a wireless power transfer circuit and a small battery. It is skin-compliant, and lightweight accommodating the complex motion of the body. These unique features of the device provide a continuous physiological measurement without discomfort and spatial constraints. Using the device, we can observe and track the progression of the recoveries, development of diseases, and state of the sleep. Here, we demonstrate the design consideration and strategies for developing advance wireless soft electronics through wireless mechanoacoustic sensors. The sensor conforms to the skin surface of the suprasternal notch for the continuous measurement of mechanical and acoustic signals. We also show the impact of advanced soft electronics through its applications in a sleep study, stroke rehabilitation, and COVID-19 tracking.
