The integration of wearable devices, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced sensing platforms implies a significant paradigm shift in technological innovations and human interactions. The IoT technology allows continuous monitoring in real time. Thus, Internet of Wearables has made remarkable strides, especially in the field of medical monitoring. IoT-enabled wearable systems assist in early disease detection that facilitates personalized interventions and proactive healthcare management, thereby empowering individuals to take charge of their wellbeing. Until now, physical sensors have been successfully integrated into wearable devices for physical activity monitoring. However, obtaining biochemical information poses challenges in the contexts of fabrication compatibility and shorter operation lifetimes. IoT-based electrochemical wearable sensors allow real-time acquisition of data and interpretation of biomolecular information corresponding to biomarkers, viruses, bacteria and metabolites, extending the diagnostic capabilities beyond physical activity tracking. Thus, critical heath parameters such as glucose levels, blood pressure and cardiac rhythm may be monitored by these devices regardless of location and time. This work presents versatile electrochemical sensing devices across different disciplines, including but not limited to sports, safety and wellbeing by using IoT. It also discusses the detection principles for biomarkers and biofluid monitoring, and their integration into devices and advancements in sensing interfaces.
可穿戴设备、物联网(IoT)和先进传感平台的整合意味着技术创新和人际互动方面的重大范式转变。物联网技术允许实时持续监测。因此,可穿戴物联网取得了显著进展,尤其是在医疗监测领域。具备物联网功能的可穿戴系统有助于早期疾病检测,促进个性化干预和主动式医疗管理,从而使个人能够掌控自身健康。到目前为止,物理传感器已成功集成到可穿戴设备中用于身体活动监测。然而,在制造兼容性和较短使用寿命的背景下,获取生化信息存在挑战。基于物联网的电化学可穿戴传感器允许实时获取数据并解读与生物标志物、病毒、细菌和代谢物相对应的生物分子信息,将诊断能力扩展到身体活动跟踪之外。因此,这些设备可以在任何地点和时间监测血糖水平、血压和心律等关键健康参数。这项工作展示了通过使用物联网的跨不同学科的多功能电化学传感设备,包括但不限于运动、安全和健康领域。它还讨论了生物标志物和生物流体监测的检测原理,以及它们在设备中的集成和传感界面的进展。
