Summary
This Nature Reviews Chemistry article surveys the emerging landscape of wearable chemical sensors capable of detecting multiple biomarkers in real time, particularly in the context of multi-omics research. The review, as suggested by its 2022 publication date, assesses how such sensors might enable continuous, non-invasive biomarker monitoring to complement high-throughput omics methods. The work appears to argue that wearable sensor technology represents a complementary approach to conventional laboratory-based bioanalysis for personalised health assessment.
Regional applicability
The methodological insights and sensor technologies reviewed are directly relevant to UK research institutions and NHS precision medicine initiatives, though clinical deployment would require regulatory validation (MHRA approval) and integration into existing health monitoring frameworks. The work's emphasis on non-invasive, continuous biomarker detection aligns with UK policy interest in preventive and personalised medicine.
Key measures
Sensor sensitivity, selectivity, response time, biomarker detection range, wearable platform integration, analytical validation metrics
Outcomes reported
The study reviewed wearable chemical sensor technologies capable of detecting and monitoring biomarkers in biological fluids (sweat, saliva, tears, interstitial fluid) relevant to health assessment. The review synthesised evidence on sensor design, analytical performance, and applications in omics-driven biomarker discovery.
