The aim of this research is to develop highly sensitive, flexible, wearable enzymatic and immuno-sensor arrays for continuous and selective sensing of ethanol, lactate, and glucose in human sweat. Human sweat has clinical importance and has been recommended as an early pointer for many health conditions and diseases. Thus, for many health applications, point-of-care non-invasive monitoring of different biomarkers in sweat is ultimately important. The major challenges of the sweat analysis biosensors include selectivity, sensitivity, flexibility, sweat collection, and storage for analysis. In this research, sonochemical synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) Zinc Oxide Nanoflakes (ZnO NFs) and wearable sweat analysis biosensors …
