The use of SPCB technology for skin surface monitoring was promising. However, suppressing self-heating induced by the horseshoe shaped copper tracks needed for stretchability of the SPCB requires more in-depth investigation. The thermocouple matrix was the most promising for clinical application, meeting 6/7 of the major requirements for skin surface temperature monitoring when positioned perpendicular to the EM field.
