Humans rely increasingly on sensors to address grand challenges and to improve quality of life in the era of digitalization and big data. For ubiquitous sensing, flexible sensors are developed to overcome the limitations of conventional rigid counterparts. Despite rapid advancement in bench-side research over the last decade, the market adoption of flexible sensors remains limited. To ease and to expedite their deployment, here, we identify bottlenecks hindering the maturation of flexible sensors and propose promising solutions. We first analyze continued...challenges in achieving satisfactory sensing performance for real-world applications and then summarize issues in compatible sensor-biology interfaces, followed by brief discussions on powering and connecting sensor networks. Issues en route to commercialization and for sustainable growth of the sector are also analyzed, highlighting environmental concerns and emphasizing nontechnical issues such as business, regulatory, and ethical considerations. Additionally, we look at future intelligent flexible sensors. In proposing a comprehensive roadmap, we hope to steer research efforts towards common goals and to guide coordinated development strategies from disparate communities. Through such collaborative

This paper presents the biophysical modeling for neuronal stimulation caused by amplitude-modulated giga-hertz (GHz) electromagnetic (EM) waves. We model a 1D cable equation for electrical signal propagation in a vestibular ganglion neuronal fiber and use Hodgkin-Huxley formalism to model voltage-dependent channel conductances. We find out that for a given stimulation signal strength, the GHz waveform amplitude-modulated at a low frequency of Δf causes neuronal firing with the frequency of Δf whereas the continuous wave GHz did not elicit any neuronal firing. Moreover, the voltage-dependent channel gating dynamics of the Δf amplitude-modulated GHz stimulation matches that of a simple low frequency stimulation at Δf. Additionally, we find that the modulation depth controls the firing rate of the neurons. The significance of this property is that the amplitude modulation caused by the interference of two similar high frequency signals could be leveraged to focally excite neurons at depth without stimulating overlying cortical regions. These theoretical predictions based on the Hodgkin-Huxley model can later be tested experimentally.
