Abstract

The demand for wearable sensors has been grown rapidly over the past few years, mainly those related to monitor health, fitness and their surroundings. Consequently, wearable chemical sensing has become a crucial appliance area for wireless sensors and has proved to be a very challenging and multidisciplinary area. The great advantage of coupling wireless communication to different types of wearable sensors is the enhancement of the sensor's scope for remote and resource-limited settings with the possibility of obtaining real-time data acquisition and application in different areas like homeland defense, home-based healthcare, and food logistics. Being the electrochemical sensors considered attractive and promising to use in the wireless chemical sensor field, due to its features such as simple structure, the possibility of miniaturization, comfort, simplicity of operation, high sensitivity, fast response, relatively low energy consumption and low manufacturing cost. Furthermore, wearable electrochemical sensors enable obtaining insights into individuals health status through the noninvasive monitoring of clinically relevant biomarkers in different biofluids without complex sampling, manipulation and treatment steps. In this review, we present the main advances in technologies used in the development of fully integrated wireless wearable electrochemical devices, such as communication protocols, data collection and privacy concerns and power sources. We also discuss in a critical way the main challenges, trends, strategies and new technologies that will drive this research line in the future. Lastly, we highlight the progress in the last few years in healthcare, sports, security and defense, and forensic applications. (AU)
