“…[ 6,7 ] These electronics' extreme flexibility and sensitivity could be an ideal source for designing future novel biomedical devices. [ 8–12 ] Most commercially available wearable medical devices initially relied on silicon‐based microelectronics because of their unique design, rigidity, and flexibility, which could afford robust and reliable functionality for clinical and preclinical applications. [ 4,13,14 ] However, the inconvenient wiring and inadequate integration of silicon electronics with human skin make it nearly unusable for mobile and long‐term personalized monitoring.…”

In recent years, additive manufacturing tools, such as 3D printing, has gained enormous attention in biomedical engineering for developing ionotropic devices, flexible electronics, skin‐electronic interfaces, and wearable sensors with extremely high precision and sensing accuracy. Such printed bioelectronics are innovative and can be used as multi‐stimuli response platforms for human health monitoring and disease diagnosis. This review systematically discusses the past, present, and future of the various printable and stretchable soft bioelectronics for precision medicine. The potential of various naturally and chemically derived conductive biopolymer inks and their nanocomposites with tunable physico‐chemical properties is also highlighted, which is crucial for bioelectronics fabrication. Then, the design strategies of various printable sensors for human body sensing are summarized. In conclusion, the perspectives on the future advanced bioelectronics are described, which will be helpful, particularly in the field of nano/biomedicine. An in‐depth knowledge of materials design to functional aspects of printable bioelectronics is demonstrated, with an aim to accelerate the development of next‐generation wearables.
