In article number 2001184, Seung Goo Lee, Kilwon Cho, and co‐workers demonstrate a user‐interactive thermotherapeutic electronic skin by integrating thermochromic composite and a stretchable strain sensor. Both heat and color of the device are easily controlled by external mechanical strain. This device exhibits a potential application in effective connective tissue injury rehabilitation, while avoiding skin burns.
