“…Urine contains a lot of analytes, such as DAN, RNA, metabolites, and proteins. Due to the biomarkers in urine, urine tests are widely used in hospitals for urinary lithiasis, urinary tract infections, kidney disease, urinary tract infections, diabetes, liver problems, and genitourinary cancers [260][261][262][263][264][265][266]. Urinalysis can be divided into urine sediment analysis, urine culture, and urine chemical analysis.…”

“…Due to the simple and non-invasive sampling process, many kinds of urine test strips were invented and widely applied for screening. Urine test strips are cheap and convenient with an acceptable accuracy decline, and can be used at home; therefore, they are widely used for commercial rapid pregnancy testing, urinary tract infections screening [262,267], diabetes management [261], and liver/kidney function monitoring [261,267,268]. In a word, urine is a promising biofluid for healthcare.…”

In recent years, the proliferation of wearable healthcare devices has marked a revolutionary shift in the personal health monitoring and management paradigm. These devices, ranging from fitness trackers to advanced biosensors, have not only made healthcare more accessible, but have also transformed the way individuals engage with their health data. By continuously monitoring health signs, from physical-based to biochemical-based such as heart rate and blood glucose levels, wearable technology offers insights into human health, enabling a proactive rather than a reactive approach to healthcare. This shift towards personalized health monitoring empowers individuals with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their lifestyle and medical care, potentially leading to the earlier detection of health issues and more tailored treatment plans. This review presents the fabrication methods of flexible wearable healthcare devices and their applications in medical care. The potential challenges and future prospectives are also discussed.
