“…In addition, as the W /L of the widegate transistors increases, so does the transconductance. This behavior is in agreement with (2). The transistors fabricated on PEN exhibited slightly lower transconductance when compared to those on glass.…”

Wearable technology (WT) has become a viable means to provide low-cost clinically sensitive data for more informed patient assessment. The benefit of WT seems obvious: small, worn discreetly in any environment, personalised data and possible integration into communication networks, facilitating remote monitoring. Yet, WT remains poorly understood and technology innovation often exceeds pragmatic clinical demand and use. Here, we provide an overview of the common challenges facing WT if it is to transition from novel gadget to an efficient, valid and reliable clinical tool for modern medicine. For simplicity, an A-Z guide is presented, focusing on key terms, aiming to provide a grounded and broad understanding of current WT developments in healthcare.

“…In recent years, several wearable devices to gather the body’s physiological data have been proposed by the scientific literature, especially targeting personalized medicine and point-of-care diagnostics [ 29 ], as well as home and fitness monitoring. Wearable monitoring is provided by shirts [ 30 ], necklaces [ 31 ], tattoos [ 32 ], lenses [ 33 ], headbands [ 34 ], smart wristbands [ 35 ], watches [ 36 ], shoes [ 37 ], eyeglasses [ 38 , 39 ], wristbands, and patches [ 40 , 41 ]. Different kinds of wearable sensors perform clinical diagnostics by measuring the major electrolytes, metabolites, ions, acids, heavy metals, alcohols, and toxic gases directly acquired in different body fluids [ 25 , 42 ], as shown in Figure 1 .…”

Wearable devices are nowadays at the edge-front in both academic research as well as in industry, and several wearable devices have been already introduced in the market. One of the most recent advancements in wearable technologies for biosensing is in the area of the remote monitoring of human health by detection on-the-skin. However, almost all the wearable devices present in the market nowadays are still providing information not related to human ‘metabolites and/or disease’ biomarkers, excluding the well-known case of the continuous monitoring of glucose in diabetic patients. Moreover, even in this last case, the glycaemic level is acquired under-the-skin and not on-the-skin. On the other hand, it has been proven that human sweat is very rich in molecules and other biomarkers (e.g., ions), which makes sweat a quite interesting human liquid with regards to gathering medical information at the molecular level in a totally non-invasive manner. Of course, a proper collection of sweat as it is emerging on top of the skin is required to correctly convey such liquid to the molecular biosensors on board of the wearable system. Microfluidic systems have efficiently come to the aid of wearable sensors, in this case. These devices were originally built using methods such as photolithographic and chemical etching techniques with rigid materials. Nowadays, fabrication methods of microfluidic systems are moving towards three-dimensional (3D) printing methods. These methods overcome some of the limitations of the previous method, including expensiveness and non-flexibility. The 3D printing methods have a high speed and according to the application, can control the textures and mechanical properties of an object by using multiple materials in a cheaper way. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to review all the most recent advancements in the methods for 3D printing to fabricate wearable fluidics and provide a critical frame for the future developments of a wearable device for the remote monitoring of the human metabolism directly on-the-skin.
