Emerging health monitoring bioelectronics require energy storage units with improved stretchability, biocompatibility, and self‐charging capability. Stretchable supercapacitors hold great potential for such systems due to their superior specific capacitances, power densities, and tissue‐conforming properties, as compared to both batteries and conventional capacitors. Despite the rapid progress that has been made in supercapacitor research, practical applications in health monitoring bioelectronics have yet to be achieved, requiring innovations in materials, device configurations, and fabrications tailored for such applications. In this review, the progress in stretchable supercapacitor‐powered health monitoring bioelectronics is summarized and the required specifications of supercapacitors for different types of application settings with varying demands on biocompatibility are discussed, including nontouching wearables, skin‐touching wearables, skin‐conforming wearables, and implantables. The perspective of this review is then broadened to focus on integration of stretchable supercapacitors in bioelectronics and aspects of energy harvesting and sensing. Finally further insights on the existing challenges in this developing field and potential solutions are provided.

“…So far, various flexible energy‐storage systems with good electrochemical performance and decent mechanical durability built on flexible substrates such as metal sheets, metal wires, papers, polymer thin films and fibers, textiles, etc., have been reported, which show improved compatibility with wearable applications. Among them, textiles may be an ideal choice, as the original textile structure may be preserved for better wearability in the end‐products, and the large surface area of textiles is beneficial for utilizing energy materials .…”

Considerable attention has been drawn to flexible and wearable energy‐storage devices due to the blooming of portable and wearable electronics in recent years. However, huge challenges are yet to be addressed before the need of both high flexibility and high performance can be met. With many desired features for wearable applications, textiles have become a growing research frontier where scientific views from various fields collide, sparking new ideas. Here, recent research progress in energy‐storage textiles (ESTs), in which textiles are employed to enhance either electrochemical performance or flexibility and wearability, is summarized. The research of ESTs is mainly divided into three parts, with a focus on supercapacitors, lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), and some other representative battery systems, respectively. Electrode preparation, cell assembly, device performance, and the remaining challenges are discussed in detail, aiming to provide insights for future development.

The development of ultra‐compliant power sources is crucial for their seamless integration with next‐generation skin‐like wearable and implantable biomedical systems for long‐term health monitoring. Toward this goal, stretchable energy storage and conversion devices (ESCDs), including supercapacitors, lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), solar cells, and generators are now attracting intensive worldwide research efforts. The purpose of this review is to discuss the latest achievements in the development of such stretchable energy devices in the context of biomedical applications. We first review the viable strategies and methodologies of fabricating stretchable energy storage and conversion devices. Then, we focus on description of various types of soft energy devices from a materials point of view. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in the design of truly conformal soft energy systems, including various key parameters, such as energy density, stability, and scalability.
