Abstract
The field of wearable electronics is a rapidly growing market with applications in medical monitoring, safety, and security. NextFlex has worked on the development of several prototype wearable systems for safety and security. The manufacturing of these devices at NextFlex does not use standard copper flex technology but rather utilizes printed silver inks leading to an additive manufacturing process that results in both a lighter-weight and more conformal design. NextFlex will give an overview of its efforts to create devices that can be integrated into clothing and will include the latest data on the reliability testing of the units.
