Provided is a bio-signal detection and stimulation device. The bio-signal detection and stimulation device includes a flexible substrate, a stimulation part on the flexible substrate, and a detection electrode part on the flexible substrate. The stimulation part and the detection electrode part vertically overlap each other, the stimulation part includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED), the stimulation part emits an optical signal, and the detection electrode part detects a bio-signal.

Sensor electrodes are fabricated in situ within or on a surface of a medical device. For example, a catheter can have a lumen extending between first and second longitudinal ends of the catheter. A patterning mold can be inserted into the lumen via the first longitudinal end of the catheter such that first and second surface portions of the lumen are exposed from the patterning mold and remaining surface portions of the lumen are covered by and in contact with the patterning mold. A first electrode layer can be formed on the first and second surface portions exposed from the patterning mold using electroless deposition. After the forming, the patterning mold can be removed from the lumen. Additional electrode layers can be formed on the first electrode layer, for example, via electroplating. In some embodiments, the electrode layers can be used for detection of bacterial biofilm growth.

A computing device may include (1) biosignal-acquiring circuitry that captures a biosignal from a user's body and (2) one or more composite bioelectrodes electrically coupled to the biosignal-acquiring circuitry. The one or more composite bioelectrodes may include (1) a circuitry-interfacing side with a mechanical or electrical property having a first predetermined configuration and (2) a user-interfacing side with the mechanical or electrical property having a second predetermined configuration. Various other composite bioelectrodes, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
