In article number 1901735 by Adam W. Feinberg and co‐workers, a wearable pulse oximeter with pressure sensing is developed using freeform reversible embedding 3D printing of silicone elastomer. The 3D prints are based on anatomical scans of the finger or toe, resulting in patient‐specific, soft cuffs that are integrated with flexible electronics to calculate heart rate, blood oxygen content, and activity state.
