A system for characterizing tissue includes a probe that delivers a continuous and periodic mechanical vibration to a tissue of a subject; an ultrasound emitter that emits a sequence of ultrasound shots and an ultrasound receiver that receives corresponding echo signals to track how the tissue is moved by the periodic mechanical vibration delivered to the tissue; and a control module programmed to provide homogeneity information to an operator of the system, the homogeneity information being determined from at least some of the echo signals and being representative of the ability of the tissue to transmit elastic waves and of the homogeneity of the tissue with respect to the propagation of elastic waves.

The present invention provides an electronic device and a method for providing content according to the skin type of a user. The electronic devices according to various embodiments comprise: a display; and a processor, wherein the processor obtains skin diagnosis information which represents the skin condition of a user, determines the skin type of the user on the basis of skin diagnosis information, and displays, on the display, information on the determined skin type and content corresponding to the determined skin type. Other embodiments are also available.

Exemplary embodiments relate to a skin-adherable flexible patch including a flexible patch layer having one surface that can adhere to skin and configured to support a micro scale semiconductor device; and a plurality of holes passing through from one surface of the flexible patch to the other surface of the flexible patch, and a method for manufacturing the flexible patch.

A sensor is provided for sensing layer removal from a surface. A head has an abrasive portion for contacting the surface and a conducting portion inside the head. This device has a sensor design which provides self-generation of a sensor signal with no power supply to the device head. This simplifies the design of the sensor head, and means it can have a design which is easy to clean with no parts which are easily damaged. In one set of examples, the device is a skin treatment device.
