Adhesive Challenges with Wearables and IoT Devices

Webinar Date: April 6th, 2022

Speaker: JoAnne Moody, Principal Consultant and President, Zeta Scientific LLC

Details: Designing a medical device has many challenges. Creating wearable medical devices that stick to the skin is high on that list of challenges. For wearable devices to function as intended, they need to have a secure, reliable hold for the desired duration of use. Adhesives play a crucial role in ensuring that devices don’t fall off or injure the skin.

JoAnne Moody explored selecting adhesives for Wearable & IoT Devices in this session. Based on the increasing trend for devices attached to the skin, it is essential to consider adhesive selection early in the design phase. Key factors to consider include device design and application needs, such as wear time, wear location, sterilization, and biocompatibility. Skin adhesive development steps involve mockup prototypes and tests.
