Abstract : Unlike conventional rigid counterparts, soft and stretchable electronics forms crack- or defect-free conformal interfaces with biological tissues, enabling precise and reliable interventions in diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. Intrinsically soft and elastic materials, and device designs of innovative configurations and structures leads to the emergence of such features, particularly, the mechanical compliance provides seamless integration into continuous movements and deformations of dynamic organs such as the bladder and heart, without disrupting natural physiological functions. This review introduces the development of soft, implantable electronics tailored for dynamic organs, covering various materials, mechanical design strategies, and representative applications for the bladder and heart, and concludes with insights into future directions toward clinically relevant tools.
