A highly flexible Ni–Co MOF nanosheet coated Au/PDMS film based wearable electrochemical sensor for continuous human sweat glucose monitoring

Abstract

. In addition, the flexible sensor shows high stability and a good electrochemical response to glucose when stretched and bent to different levels. Moreover, it maintained long-term stability and high selectivity for glucose monitoring. Lastly, a sweat-absorbent cloth was used to cover the working area of the sensor and was fixed with a needle and thread to form a wearable sweat glucose sensor. The sensor can be attached to the skin for stable, accurate and continuous monitoring of glucose levels in human sweat for one day. This work validates the potential of our high-performance wearable sensor for out-of-clinic health monitoring.
