Millimeter-scale, Wireless Wearables

Millimeter-scale, wireless wearables consist of thin, small devices with miniaturized resonant antenna structures for wireless interfaces to consumer platforms such as tablets and smartphones.  These platforms are sufficiently small to allow mounting on the fingernails for long-term (months) integration with the body.  Applications range from authentication and wireless payments to dosimetry for exposure to ultraviolet light to physiological sensing based on an optical interface to the tissue bed underneath the nail.
