Eutectogel Sensors and Microneedle Patches
"Eutectogel Sensors:~While the exact eutectogel formulation in this study has not been previously tested in humans, similar eutectogel-based materials have been employed in wearable biosensing devices with human participants. These systems are typically composed of biocompatible matrices such as gelatin or polyacrylamide combined with deep eutectic solvents (DES) to improve ionic conductivity and flexibility.~Microneedle Patches:~The microneedle patch in this study is composed of poly(acrylic acid)/gelatin methacryloyl (PAA/GelMA), gelatin/oxidized pectin (Gelatin/OxP), and methacrylated hyaluronic acid/maleic anhydride (MeHA/MA). Although the integrated use of these specific compositions has not yet been evaluated in humans, the materials themselves, as well as similar microneedle architectures, have been thoroughly investigated in vivo and even in clinical trials."
