▣ Abstract
Wearable biosensors represent a promising opportunity to monitor human physiology through dynamic measurements of (bio)chemical markers in bio-fluids such as sweat, tears, saliva, and interstitial fluid in continuous and non-invasive way. Such new platforms can thus offer real-time (bio)chemical information toward a more comprehensive view of a wearer’s health, performance, or stress at the molecular level in daily-life. Continuous biomonitoring addresses the limitations of traditional invasive blood testing and provides the opportunity for early diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. My research is focused on developing wearable electrochemical biosensors towards non-invasive health monitoring opportunities and evaluating the potential impact of such wearable point-of-care devices on our daily life. The innovative biosensing technology was demonstrated by successful electrical signal transduction of biomolecular/biocatalytic reactions. It was further developed into various wearable form-factors using printing technology, offering wearer’s conformity, flexibility, and stretchability. The wearable biosensors could measure a broad spectrum of biomarkers such as metabolites, electrolytes, hormones, and various small molecules in non-invasive biofluids, demonstrating clinical values through human studies. These advances, opportunities, and future perspectives will be discussed through interdisciplinary approaches, such as materials engineering, printed electronics, and medical engineering.
