Recent Development of Wearable Microfluidics Applied in Body Fluid Testing and Drug Delivery

wearable microfluidics have wide applications in medical, sports and military field. with the help of wearable microfluidics, through the direct physical contact between the chip and skin, the pH, glucose, lactate, sodium/potassium, calcium and heavy metal in the body fluid can be detected from sweat, tear and saliva without puncture for blood. And these information are of great importance for the monitoring of vital signs and disease diagnosis. This paper introduced the most recent development and applications of the wearable microfluidics in the body fluid testing and drug delivery. The up-to-date research development for the drug delivery using wearable microfluidics was also briefly introduced in this article. The forecast of the emerging trend for wearable microfluidics and discussion of potential technique barriers was also provided at the end of this article.
