Molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensors for amino acid detection: towards wearable sensing

Continuous, non-invasive monitoring of physiological health is a significant objective in modern medicine and personalized wellness. To efficiently capture physiological data and diagnostic metrics, the ideal biofluid/medium for health monitoring should be non-invasive, easy to access, and contains a variety of physiologically significant analytes. Sweat is a particularly promising biofluid for real-time monitoring due to its ease of usage and rich milieu of metabolic and potentially diagnostic biomarkers. Within sweat, amino acids are of particular diagnostic interest due to their direct correlation with a spectrum of metabolic disorders, chronic illnesses, and overall health.
