“…The BFC is an energy conversion device that mainly uses enzymatic reactions to convert chemical energy stored in organic compositions of biofluid into electrical energy [127]. Consisting of an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte solution that carries charge between the two electrodes in a biofluid, the BFC can be integrated with sweat sensors to form a complete circuit system.…”

Sweat, as a biofluid with the potential for noninvasive collection, provides profound insights into human health conditions, because it contains various chemicals and information to be utilized for the monitoring of well-being, stress levels, exercise, and nutrition. Recently, wearable sweat sensors have been developed as a promising substitute to conventional laboratory sweat detection methods. Such sensors are promising to realize low-cost, real-time, in situ sweat measurements, and provide great opportunities for health status evaluation analysis based on personalized big data. This review first presents an overview of wearable sweat sensors from the perspective of basic components, including materials and structures for specific sensing applications and modalities. Current strategies and specific methods of the fabrication of wearable power management are also summarized. Finally, current challenges and future directions of wearable sweat sensors are discussed.

“…Apart from microfluidic devices and iontophoresis systems, hydro-gel touchpad-based sensors have also been developed recently for sweat analysis. These platforms provide the possibility of collecting human sweat at rest [ 125 , 126 , 127 ]. Along this research line, Lin et al creatively utilized natural perspiration samples for wireless in situ electrochemical analysis using a thin hydrogel micropatch.…”

Biosensors have potentially revolutionized the biomedical field. Their portability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of operation have made the market for these biosensors to grow rapidly. Diabetes mellitus is the condition of having high glucose content in the body, and it has become one of the very common conditions that is leading to deaths worldwide. Although it still has no cure or prevention, if monitored and treated with appropriate medication, the complications can be hindered and mitigated. Glucose content in the body can be detected using various biological fluids, namely blood, sweat, urine, interstitial fluids, tears, breath, and saliva. In the past decade, there has been an influx of potential biosensor technologies for continuous glucose level estimation. This literature review provides a comprehensive update on the recent advances in the field of biofluid-based sensors for glucose level detection in terms of methods, methodology and materials used.

“…Human monitoring is undoubtedly another crucial scenario for energy harvesting technology, which is promising evolved as self-powered or self-sustainable wearable/implantable systems for movement monitoring or therapy treatment. Corresponding prototypes can be clothes [226][227][228]; footwear such as socks [152,229], insoles [151,230] and shoes [231,232]; accessories such as glasses [156], wristbands [233,234], gloves [149,215,235], and patches [131,236,237]. Liu et al introduced a hybridized electromagnetic-triboelectric nanogenerator (HETNG) to extract energy and information from the inherent balance control processes, as shown in Figure 6a [238].…”
