Abstract

Advanced in wireless technologies and flexible materials with great biocompatibility, wearable devices have been utilized in the field of healthcare, sports management, and diseases prevention, which have been widely applied in current electronic equipment. Sweat, as a common metabolite on the skin surface, contains a wealth of biomarkers for disease detection and diagnosis. Therefore, developing wearable sweat sensors can provide a non-invasive method for health data collecting, sports monitoring, and clinical diagnosis in a convenient way. Recent research in sweat metabolomics has offered a lot of information for sweat analysis and the wearable sweat sensors with small size, various sensing, and transmission units, and good skin contact has exhibited dynamic multi-signal detection. This article introduces the biomarkers in sweat related to different diseases and the current development of sweat sensors for user's activation monitoring and diseases detection. The barriers and difficulties in the future are also discussed and perspectives in the next generation sweat sensors are proposed.
