BMSeed - BioMedical Sustainable Elastic Electronic Device - is organized around an effort to eliminate the poor clinical outcomes associated with hard and stiff electrodes interacting with the human body. The firm is designing electrodes that have mechanical properties that are similar to the human body particularly important in mechanically active (e.g., near the heart, spinal cord) and very soft (e.g., the brain) environment. Under development are commercial stretchable microelectrode arrays (sMEAs) based on recently discovered stretchable gold films. All products of Bmseed will largely consist of a gold film that is embedded in the soft elastomeric silicone polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). A particular focus are products for biomedical applications that require soft and stretchable electronic interfaces with cells, tissue or skin.
