Abstract
An example wearable device includes a flexible substrate and a plurality of microfluidic devices attached to the flexible substrate, each microfluidic device of the plurality of microfluidic devices comprising an actuator configured to cause a displacement of a corresponding portion of the flexible substrate to which the microfluidic device is attached. The wearable device further includes a control module electrically coupled to the plurality of microfluidic devices, the control module configured to govern operation of the plurality of microfluidic devices, and a fluid reservoir configured to store a supply of fluid. The wearable device also includes a set of fluidic connectors coupling the fluid reservoir to the plurality of microfluidic devices.
