Systems and methods for individual identification and authorization utilizing conformable electronics

A device, comprising:

• a deformable substrate configured to conform to a skin surface of a body portion of an individual subject;
• a sensor assembly coupled to the deformable substrate, the sensor assembly including one or more identity sensors configured to generate one or more identity sense signals associated with at least one physical characteristic of the individual subject;
• circuitry operably coupled to the sensor assembly and configured to receive the one or more identity sense signals associated with the at least one physical characteristic of the individual subject, the circuitry including an identity comparison module configured to compare the one or more identity sense signals generated by the sensor assembly to reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with an identity of at least one individual to determine whether the one or more identity sense signals correspond to the identity of the at least one individual;
• a reporter operably coupled to the circuitry and configured to generate one or more communication signals responsive to instruction by the circuitry, the one or more communication signals associated with a comparison of the one or more identity sense signals generated by the sensor assembly to reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with an identity of at least one individual, the reporter including a transmitter or transceiver configured to transmit the one or more communication signals to a system for association with a file corresponding to the at least one individual;
• and
• a unique identifier associated with at least one of the deformable substrate, the sensor assembly, the circuitry, or the reporter, wherein the unique identifier includes a first identifier and a second identifier, wherein the first identifier corresponds to a family identifier that identifies a family of devices including the device and at least one other device, and wherein the second identifier uniquely identifies the device.
