DuPont™ Liveo™ Healthcare and ST
combine to create a new concept in wearable biosignal-monitoring
devices that merges patient comfort with high performance.
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:DD) today announced that DuPont™
Liveo™ Healthcare Solutions is collaborating with
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global leader in semiconductor
technology serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, to develop a new smart wearable device concept for
remote biosignal-monitoring.
"Dedicated Liveo™ research teams collaborate with suppliers and
manufacturers worldwide to create solutions across a vast array of
medical applications – including smart devices that can share data
between patients and doctors," said DuPont™
Liveo™ Global Business Leader Eugenio Toccalino. "The wearable device concept
that resulted from the collaboration between DuPont and ST is the
DuPont™ Liveo™ Smart Biosensing Patch prototype, which employs
multifunctional microsensors and control electronics from ST
embedded in a flexible patch design from DuPont."
By collaborating with others across the healthcare ecosystem –
from technology developers and material suppliers to device
fabricators and OEMs – DuPont is developing more patient-centric
solutions that contribute to better patient outcomes.
"ST designed the electronics and sensors for the smart skin
patch prototype using our accelerometer and vertical analog front
end next-generation sensors with in-sensor AI, a microcontroller
with Bluetooth module, ultra-low-power-management units,
firmware, and algorithm support to create a flexible board
design capable to analyze electrical and mechanical heart activity
in full synchronization to extract multiple vital signs," said
Simone Ferri, STMicroelectronics AMS
Group Vice-President and MEMS sub-group General Manager. "The
performance of ST's electronic sensors is enhanced by the
conformability and conductivity of the
DuPont™ Liveo™ materials used to create the patch."
Through this collaboration, DuPont brings a broad range of
medical patch technologies, including DuPont™ Liveo™ Soft
Skin Conductive Tape 1-3150 – a silicone-based thermoset adhesive
for sensing and transferring electrical biosignals, and Liveo™ Soft
Skin Adhesives.
ST's sensor and embedded development technology and
semiconductor manufacturing expertise, combined with the key
benefits of silicone technology with electrically conductive
properties allow Liveo™ Soft Skin Conductive Tape
technology to be used as a skin electrode for biosignal-monitoring
applications where good skin conformability, no drying over time,
and repositionability with gentle adhesion and atraumatic removal
is vital. It can be used in single electrodes for short-term
monitoring, as well as in medical wearable patches for long-term
monitoring lasting seven or more days.
DuPont also designed the layout for the Liveo™ Smart Biosensing
Patch and supplied rapid prototyping capabilities.
The result of this collaboration is not just a single prototype,
but a robust ST-empowered Liveo™ Smart Biosensing Patch technology
toolbox for remote ECG and SCG monitoring.
The DuPont and ST integrated patch technology is designed to
improve people's lives, making it easier to use than typical rigid
box designs. It's smaller, lighter, and more comfortable and can be
worn longer. Plus, the sensors are multifunctional, intelligent,
and adaptable, and the data provided is extremely stable.
DuPont will demonstrate the capabilities of the Liveo™ Smart
Biosensing Patch prototype at the MEDICA Trade Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany, November 13-16. The Liveo™ team will be in Hall
12/D33 in the Wearable Technologies Pavilion.
As part of the MEDICA Connected Healthcare Forum, DuPont™ Liveo™
Healthcare Solutions Global Strategic Marketing Manager
Jennifer Gemo and ST's Head of EMEA
Healthcare and Well-Being Vertical Strategic Business Development
Oriana Di Marco will present "Towards intelligent e-skin
patches for cardiac monitoring" featuring the DuPont/ST
collaborative patch concept and technology toolbox. The
presentation will take place on Nov.
14 from 12:15 to 12:35 p.m.
CEST in Hall 12/E37.
