Skin-interfaced wearable sweat biosensors

Abstract

Wearable devices can play an important role in personalized healthcare as they allow continuous data collection during an individual's daily activities toward predictive analytics and treatment. In this talk, I will introduce our efforts in developing fully-integrated skin-interfaced biosensors for non-invasive mol. anal. Such wearable biosensors can continuously, selectively, and accurately measure a broad spectrum of sweat analytes including metabolites, electrolytes, hormones, drugs, and other small mols. The clin. value of our wearable sensing platforms is evaluated through multiple human studies involving both healthy and patient populations toward physiol. monitoring, nutritional monitoring, disease diagnosis, mental health assessment, and drug personalization. This talk will feature our recent works on self-powered battery-free electronic skins and mHealth-based biosensors for multiplexed COVID-19 diagnosis and management. These wearable and flexible devices could open the door to a wide range of personalized monitoring, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications.
