Abstract

Interstitial fluid (ISF), a biological fluid rich in diverse biomarkers and analytes and similar to blood composition, has garnered significant attention as a valuable source of clinically relevant information. Consequently, ISF-based wearable biosensors are emerging as powerful tools for non-invasive and minimally invasive disease diagnosis, personalized medicine, and other healthcare and biomedical applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in ISF-based biosensors, with a particular focus on wearable ISF sensors. We first offer insights into ISF biomarkers and sampling techniques and discuss recent ISF sensing strategies that encompass materials, fabrication methods, and sensing mechanisms. Then, we present a comprehensive overview of their applications. Finally, we address the challenges faced in this field and offer a forward-looking perspective on promising future directions. © The Author(s) 2024.
