Abstract

With the development of wearable electronic technologies, wearable biosensors pave the way for noninvasive health monitoring by detecting the biomarkers on human skin or in the common biofluids which are easily obtained (like tears, saliva, and wound exudate). For example, the glucose levels in both sweat and tear are related to the blood glucose levels, and the glucose concentration in wound exudate can reflect the wound infection conditions. In this chapter, we systematically introduce different skin-interfaced wearable biosensors from the basic detection principles, and power supplies to wearable formats and applications, including epidermal biosensors, wearable ocular biosensors, and wearable wound biosensors, highlighting their role in the future of proactive and personalized healthcare.
