Wearable UV sensors
AUDIO: Ambient music plays throughout
VISUALS: Associate Professor Madhu Bhaskaran and colleagues in laboratory, looking at clear electronic patch
TEXT ON SCREEN:
This little patch could be the next big thing in wearable health technology.
It’s clear, thin, stretches like your skin
and it’s crammed with sensors and microelectronics.
VISUALS: People on the beach, playing football, rubbing sunscreen on their backs, sunbathing and looking at their mobile phone
TEXT ON SCREEN:
You can use it to fight skin cancer –
put it in on your skin at the beach
it will sense when you’ve had too much UV
and send an alert to your phone.

TEXT ON SCREEN:
Or use it to keep safe at work.
Wear it in a mine and it will sense dangerous gases
well before you can smell them.
“Because it’s so flexible, it doesn’t break when you move around.”
Associate Professor Madhu Bhaskaran, RMIT University
“It’s like ‘electronic skin’.”

TEXT ON SCREEN:
It’s made by combining two materials:
brittle, glass-like oxides found in everyday electronics like smartphones
and a soft, silicone rubber, just like a contact lens.
It’s patented, game-changing technology,
and not just for the booming wearable tech market.
The next stage is making the electronic skin even smarter,
by building in materials that mimic how the brain thinks, learns and adapts.
“Nothing has come close to replicating the human brain. Nothing has been smart enough. Until now.”
