With an expected compound annual growth rate of 35% over the next five years, the global wearables market is poised to reach 148 million annual shipments in 2019. One of the alluring factors of wearables is the incorporation of sensors that can monitor a people's well-being and their surroundings in a continuous autonomous fashion. Such continuous stream of vital data thus offers unprecedented avenue in healthcare, defense and environmental domains. Though the attractiveness of wearable sensors is indubitable, this nascent field is marred with several challenges and not much has been done to address these. A major challenge is the unavailability of important wearable sensors. For example, the wearable sensor field is dominated by sensors that monitor physical parameters, for example, motion, pressure, temperature, heart rate and brain-activity sensors etc. One must monitor chemicals in addition to physical parameters in order to obtain a comprehensive knowledge of a person's well-being. Continuous chemical monitoring is important for analyzing fitness levels, alerting people about serious medical conditions, e.g., diabetes, traumatic brain injury, soft tissue injury etc. At present only blood analyzers are available to measure these chemicals. But the intrusive nature of these analyzers, due to blood sampling step, render then impractical for continuous, everyday use. Sensors that can perform continuous non-invasive monitoring of vital chemical biomarkers are thus highly desired, yet missing. The present thesis focuses on filling this technological vacuum by developing body-compliant, skin-worn electrochemical sensors that can detect physiologically relevant chemicals directly on the human skin in a completely non-invasive fashion.

This comprehensive review underscores the pivotal role wearable electrochemical sensors play in the proactive management and prevention of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its associated complications. Acknowledging the substantial impact of DM on individuals and the urgency for effective monitoring strategies, wearable sensors have emerged as a pragmatic solution. These sensors can detect analytical signals from biofluids, including sweat, tears, saliva, and interstitial fluid (ISF), employing minimally invasive techniques facilitated by technological advancements. The seamless integration of these sensors with computational platforms such as smartphones enhances their practicality for routine use. The review systematically explores diverse methodologies, encompassing both enzymatic and non-enzymatic principles, employed for the surveillance of analytes within biofluids. These foundational principles are meticulously applied to wearable devices, affording point-of-care solutions catering to the detection of individual analytes or simultaneous multiplexed analyte detection. The integration of wireless systems and the incorporation of machine learning algorithms introduce a layer of sophistication, elevating the capability of these sensors for the nuanced monitoring of DM and its complications. Through an in-depth analysis of these advancements, this review describes the significant potential of wearable electrochemical sensors as an essential tool for real-time monitoring and managing DM. The diverse approaches presented underscore the adaptability, versatility, and inherent efficacy of these sensors in addressing the multifaceted challenges intrinsic to DM and its associated complications within academic discourse.

The constant miniaturization of electronics and the development of powerful data processing tools have enabled the fast advance of wearable technology. The successful demonstration of wearable devices for sports monitoring has already been made. Although such outstanding technology has shown great performance, some important features are still missing. Nowadays, wearable devices are limited to monitoring physical parameters such as motion, temperature, heart rate, steps, etc., while important (bio)chemical information, such as metabolites (glucose, lactate, alcohol) and electrolytes (sodium, potassium) levels can only be accessed via blood analysis. The development of on-body detectors for physiological self-monitoring has profound societal implications for healthcare, nutrition analyses, and remote medicine. Electrochemical wearable biosensors are promising candidates to bridge the technology gap for wearable devices toward comprehensive monitoring and measurement of important, and medically relevant, biological changes in the human body. Electrochemical sensors can be easily miniaturized, data can be accessed wirelessly, and the concept of "put-and-forget" can be successfully employed minimizing the hassle and interference in the wearer's daily-life activities. In this dissertation, the development and application of non-invasive wearable devices are discussed. Wearable electrochemical sensors operating in sweat, saliva, tears, and interstitial fluid are presented in individual chapters with a final chapter on the critical discussion regarding the challenges and opportunities involved in building a successful electrochemical wearable biosensor capable of reliable and trustful measurement readings. The criteria for analytical biomarker detector in saliva, sweat, tears, and interstitial fluid are included.
