Probing and modulating life processes in the native state represents a key capability in our quest for a better understanding of life and a higher quality of life. In this talk, I will present wearable and implantable forms of flexible bioelectronic devices developed through a systems approach combining materials, electronics, and computing that open up new opportunities for continuous, ambulatory monitoring of human health and for fundamental biomedical research in unperturbed, naturally behaving animal models. I will first present a wearable mechano-acoustic sensing device for human healthcare that has been deployed to about 500 patients, with an emphasis on data analytics for continuous monitoring of COVID-19 and vocal health. Then I will present a new class of wireless, battery-free, fully implantable devices that offer multimodalities and closed-loop functionalities in neuroscience research and the use of this technology for studying auditory-evoked potentials, sleep-wake regulations, seizure treatment, cardiology, and social interactions. I will conclude by discussing future opportunities of my research in both fundamental and translational biomedicine.
