Advances in Wearable Chemosensors

Abstract

In this review, the latest research on wearable chemosensors is presented. In focus are the results from open literature, mainly from the last three years. The progress in wearable chemosensors is presented with attention drawn to the measuring technologies, their ability to provide robust data, the manufacturing techniques, as well their autonomy and ability to produce power. However, from statistical studies, the issue of patients’ trust in these technologies has arisen. People do not trust their personal data be transferred, stored, and processed through the vastness of the internet, which allows for timely diagnosis and treatment. The issue of power consumption and autonomy of chemosensor-integrated devices is also studied and the most recent solutions to this problem thoroughly presented.

A novel quinoline derivative as a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent sensor for Fe3+ detection

“…In recent years, atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma spectrometry, ow injection analysis, voltammetry and microbiology have been reported in detection of Fe 3+ , and these methods have disadvantages such as complex preprocessing, burdensome process, high operating costs, limited sensitivity and long analysis time. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Therefore, the above methods cannot be utilized as analytical tools for real-time or site inspection of target analytes, which greatly limits their practical application. As an alternative method, uorescence sensors possess the advantages of high sensitivity, strong selectivity, fast response, low cost, real-time analysis and good portability, hence it is of great signicance to design and prepare a simple and efficient uorescence sensor.…”

Recent Progress in Intelligent Wearable Sensors for Health Monitoring and Wound Healing Based on Biofluids

“…Live sensing, data recording, and computing have been performed using external devices and portable systems ( Wang C. et al, 2018 ; Ershad et al, 2020 ; Hanna et al, 2020 ). Compared with the traditional medical health monitoring that relies on a typical medical infirmary, the intelligent biochemical sensors have attracted ever-increasing attentions for their flexibility, rapidity, biocompatibility, high specificity, and low cost ( Kim et al, 2019 ; Bocchetta et al, 2020 ; Koralli and Mouzakis, 2021 ). More importantly, this technology creates two-way feedback between doctors and patients to develop more personalized and scientific health care programs ( Hughes, 2008 ).…”
