Abstract Wearable optical sensors have emerged as a promising technology, opening up a new way to monitor human sweat. With the advancement of integrated optical devices, optical materials, and structure design, the current optical skin interfaces primarily employ four analytical methods to transmit sweat chemical information into optical signals: colorimetry, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence, and electrochemiluminescence. To improve portability, many external laser source devices and imaging modules are upgraded based on different optical methods. Here, we summarize recent progress in optical sweat sensors, focusing on their principles, development, advantages, and limitations. Finally, current challenges and future prospects of wearable optical sensors in materials, sweat collection, data analysis, and external integrated electronics are discussed. |
