In the framework of personalized healthcare, the dental splint, already commonly used as a therapeutic tool by many patients would be a well suited platform to develop a sensing and connected medical device integrating electronic parts to gather information on the manducatory system disorders as well as on biomarkers contained in saliva. Taking advantage of the boom in additive manufacturing, the aim of the project is to produce a connected multisensory platform that can be placed in the mouth, without any assembly operations. The challenge is to integrate electronic devices in a complex shaped polymer object, through the use of printed and flexible electronics methods.
