Abstract

Wearable sensors have received a major recent attention owing to their considerable promise for monitoring the wearer’s health and wellness [1,2]. The medical interest for wearable systems arises from the need for monitoring patients over long periods of time. These devices have the potential to continuously collect vital health information from a person’s body and provide this information to them or their healthcare provider in a timely fashion. Such sensing platforms provide new avenues to continuously and non-invasively monitor individuals and can thus tender crucial real-time information regarding a wearer’s health. This presentation will discuss recent developments in the field of wearable electrochemical sensors integrated directly on the epidermis, under the skin, or within the mouth for various non-invasive and minimally-invasive biomedical monitoring applications [3]. Particular attention will be given to non-invasive monitoring of metabolites and electrolytes using flexible electrochemical sensors, to multiplexed microneedle sensor arrays, along with related materials, energy and integration considerations. The preparation and characterization of such wearable electrochemical sensors will be described, along with their current status and future prospects and challenges. Abstract As a surface configuration that made electrowetting practical for engineering, electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is an elegantly simple liquid handling method that has witnessed explosive…
