Abstract
Wearable bioelectronic devices relying on oxidoreductase enzymes and have already demonstrated considerable promise for on-body applications ranging from selective non-invasive biomarker monitoring to epidermal energy harvesting and storage towards integrated power‐supply hybrid systems and self-powered (body-powered battery-free) health monitoring systems. Critical to such progress is the judicious design of the enzyme-electronic interface, along with flexible platforms with mechanical properties similar to those of biological tissues. Such wearable bioelectronic devices require special attention to the enzyme-electronic interface and to several considerations, such as flexibility and stretchability, operational stability in different biofluids, biofouling, selectivity, etc. This lecture will present a variety of such wearable bioelectronic devices developed in recent years. Such devices are expected to have a tremendous impact on diverse biomedical, fitness and defence fields.
