| Abstract: |
The advent of digital technologies has spurred the development of wearable sensing devices marking a significant shift in obtaining real-time physiological information. The principal objective is to transition from blood-centric monitoring to minimally invasive modalities, which will enable movement from specialised settings to more accessible environments such as the practices of general practitioners or even home settings. While subcutaneously implanted continuous monitoring devices have demonstrated this transition, detection of analytes from sample matrices like skin interstitial fluid (ISF), is a frontier that offers attractive minimally invasive routes for detection of biomarkers. This manuscript presents a comprehensive overview of our work in subdermal wearable biosensing patches for the simultaneous monitoring of glucose and lactate from ISF in ambulatory conditions. The performance of the subdermal wearable glucose monitoring patch was evaluated over a duration of three days, which is the longest reported duration reported till date. The subdermal wearable lactate sensing patch was worn for the duration of the exercise. Our findings highlight a critical observation that biofouling effects become apparent after a 24-h period. The data presented in this manuscript extends on the knowledge in the areas of continuous metabolite monitoring by introducing multifunctional polyphenol polymer films that can be used for both glucose and lactate monitoring with appropriate modifications. This study underscores the potential of subdermal wearable patches as versatile tools for real-time metabolite monitoring, positioning them as valuable assets in the evolution of personalised healthcare in diverse settings. |
