Description

Second skin diagnostics refers to the emerging class of ultra-thin, flexible biosensors designed to adhere seamlessly to the skin and continuously monitor a range of physiological signals in real time. Made from stretchable, skin-like materials, these wearables can track vital signs and biomarkers, such as temperature, hydration, glucose, and heart rate, through non-invasive contact with sweat or skin. Equipped with wireless communication capabilities, these devices are designed for comfort, long-term use, and integration into remote health monitoring systems.

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the emerging field of second skin diagnostics, focusing on microfluidic and bioelectronic patches used for disease diagnosis. It examines the technological landscape, market readiness, stakeholder activities, and innovation patterns in these segments. The report also offers a comprehensive analysis of the global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) landscape supporting second skin diagnostics development on sensors, adhesives, microfluidics, or battery components. It also identifies the key growth opportunities in second skin diagnostics, focusing on emerging technologies, integration potential, and market enablers that can drive second skin diagnostics from an adjunct tool to standalone diagnostic solutions.

Our latest report explores how second skin diagnostics are transforming the healthcare landscape. By combining microfluidics, flexible electronics, and biosensors, these innovative solutions offer a non-invasive alternative to traditional diagnostic modalities.

The report examines how this technology is shifting diagnostics from the lab to the skin — improving accessibility, speeding up results, and supporting more personalized care.

Discover how second skin diagnostics are paving the way for decentralized, patient-friendly healthcare.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
