The rapid advancement of wearable technologies with increasing sophistication can now measure bio-signatures such as heart rate, skin temperature, and blood pressure.  These performance indicators are useful, but there is a great amount of information that can be extracted through sensing biological indicators in sweat, saliva, urine, and blood.  Advances in molecular biology and biochemistry have led to the discovery of small molecules, peptides and proteins that are associated with human health and performance. The development of a biosensor that can continuously monitor a broad range of physiology biomarkers is the next frontier in wearable sensors. For example, the ability to detect biomarkers associated with memory, alertness, fatigue and stress can greatly impact human health and performance. In this presentation I will discuss approaches for developing flexible sensing platforms for detecting biomarkers associated with human performance and leveraging flexible electronics for fabricating wearable sensor platforms.  <br/>
