Democratized electronics to enable smart living for all

Abstract

The first time when we tossed this terminology seven years back, we thought reducing complexities in human life. Today we believe it more. However, smart living for all complicates the technological need further. As by all, we mean any age group, any academic background and any financial condition. Although electronics are powerful today and have enabled our digital world, many as of today have not experienced that progress. Going forward while we realize more and more electronics in our daily life, the most important question would be how. Here we show, a heterogeneous integration approach to integrate low-cost high performance interactive electronic system which are physically compliant. We are redesigning electronics to redefine its purposes to reconfigure life for all to enable smart living.

“…However, due to the advancement of free-form CMOS technology, fully flexible and stretchable devices came into existence. Flexible and stretchable electronics play a vital role in the advancement of soft robotics, wearable/healthcare and implantable devices considering the internet of things (IoT), internet of everything (IoE) and embedded electronics applications [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”
