Description

Flexible wearable sweat electrochemical sensor, sweat monitoring method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical sensors, and particularly relates to a wireless flexible wearable sweat electrochemical sensor capable of in-situ monitoring, a sweat monitoring method and application.
Background
In recent years, wearable sensors have received much attention due to their great potential in vital sign monitoring. However, wearable sensors on the market, mainly monitoring physical signals such as heart rate, body temperature and humidity, cannot provide information at a deeper molecular level. This gap creates an opportunity for non-invasive monitoring of body fluids. Compared to body fluids such as blood, interstitial fluid, tears and urine, sweat is a promising but relatively unexplored biological fluid, an important and valuable body fluid that can be used for non-invasive monitoring, since it contains important markers related to the physiological state of the human body, including vitamin C, ascorbic acid, uric acid, glucose and lactic acid. Its composition changes dynamically with changes in health, stress and dietary conditions. The literature reports a fundamental correlation between the levels of chemical molecules in blood and sweat, that is sweat analysis can replace blood analysis. Therefore, sweat analysis can provide continuous detection information, and can be used for non-invasively detecting physiological health conditions and disease diagnosis and treatment. If the limit of large-scale equipment in hospitals can be removed, the high-performance wearable sweat electrochemical sensor is researched, the noninvasive, continuous, in-situ and visual monitoring of the markers is realized, and the method has important significance for realizing 'intelligent medical treatment'.
However, many problems are currently faced in the sweat monitoring research, mainly focusing on the following aspects:
one of the key challenges in sweat analysis is the lack of materials that combine high flexibility, high conductivity, high sensitivity, high biocompatibility, and resistance to contamination. At present, most wearable sensing devices are constructed on the basis of hard and brittle rigid substrate 7 materials, which easily causes the problems that data monitoring is not timely and accurate output cannot be realized, and the like, so that more biochemical information of the human metabolic molecule level cannot be accurately provided. Therefore, the development of flexible electrochemical sensors is a prerequisite for the development of high performance wearable sweat electrochemical sensing devices. Most of the flexible sensors use flexible materials such as flexible metal materials, polymer elastomers, polymer films, and the like as a substrate 7, and are combined with conductive materials (such as metal nanowires, metal nanoparticles, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and the like) having active functions, so that the combination of the flexibility and the sensitivity function can be realized. However, because of the disadvantages of the conductive materials with such active functions, such as inherent rigidity, easy pollution, short fatigue life, etc., it is difficult to better adhere to human skin and bear the complicated mechanical shapes of natural skin, such as: twisting, bending, stretching, folding, etc., which presents significant challenges to the real-world application of wearable electronics. Different from the traditional conductive flexible material, the conductive hydrogel has a network structure similar to living tissues, can show physiological characteristics and mechanical properties similar to human skin and organs, such as biocompatibility, high stretchability and low modulus, and becomes one of the ideal flexible matrix materials of human-computer interfaces. Moreover, the polypeptide hydrogel flexible material has a complex three-dimensional network structure, so that the functional material can be dispersed, and the stacking of the material can be avoided, thereby improving the detection sensitivity based on the polypeptide composite material.
In addition, the ideal flexible wearable sensing device for sweat analysis, preferably unprocessed, allows for direct determination of biochemical indicators therein, and is free of contamination and effects in sweat of complex composition and typically low acquisition volumes. A great amount of coexisting chemical species in sweat can be adsorbed to a sensing interface to pollute and passivate an electrode, so that the reliability of a detection result is reduced, in-situ monitoring application is not easy to realize, and the electrode is easy to pollute at present and is one of the problems to be solved urgently.
The second key challenge in sweat analysis is the lack of wireless, miniature, highly integrated, multi-functional, flexible electronics. Compared with non-in-situ detection, the sensor for in-situ detection needs to directly face complex and dynamic micro environments, needs to challenge the complex environment, has various biological elements, and is easy to pollute sensing elements. How to develop flexible new material and antipollution performance that have good biocompatibility concurrently to further construct the portable wearable electronic sensor based on this novel flexible material, and construct wireless sensor and observe the dynamic biochemical signal of real-time output on the cell-phone, realize the direct detection of biochemical molecule in the sweat, become the technological bottleneck that wearable equipment marketization needs to break through urgently.
Therefore, how to develop an anti-pollution polypeptide hydrogel material with high flexibility, high sensitivity and anti-pollution and other comprehensive properties, and configure a micro flexible wearable electrochemical sweat sensor based on the multifunctional material, and an attached sweat-emitting stimulation electrode, and in a human static state, a biochemical sensing signal in sweat can be transmitted to a mobile phone interface through bluetooth by a small bluetooth transmission system, so as to monitor the sweat.
