Skin-interfaced wearable systems with integrated colorimetric assays,
microfluidic channels, and electrochemical sensors offer powerful
capabilities for noninvasive, real-time sweat analysis. This Perspective
details recent progress in the development and translation of novel
wearable sensors for personalized assessment of sweat dynamics and
biomarkers, with precise sampling and real-time analysis. Sensor accuracy,
system ruggedness, and large-scale deployment in remote environments
represent key opportunity areas, enabling broad deployment in the
context of field studies, clinical trials, and recent commercialization.
On-body measurements in these contexts show good agreement compared
to conventional laboratory-based sweat analysis approaches. These
device demonstrations highlight the utility of biochemical sensing
platforms for personalized assessment of performance, wellness, and
health across a broad range of applications.
