Applications and challenges of wearable sensing technology in laboratory medicine

Abstract:

Wearable sensing technology has been widely used in biomedical field because of its non-invasive and portable characteristics， and especially in the monitoring of medical biomarkers. From the conventional rigid structure to flexible patch， wearable sensing technology has been greatly enhanced in terms of sensitivity，specificity， stability and practicality. This paper reviews its application and challenges of laboratory medicine， analyzes its pros and cons in the monitoring of small molecules such as glucose and electrolyte， and looks forward to its future prospects， so as to provide reference for promoting the development of new technologies in laboratory medicine.
