Skin-interfaced wearable systems with integrated microfluidic structures and sensing capabilities offer powerful platforms for monitoring the signals arising from natural physiological processes. This paper introduces a set of strategies, processing approaches, designs that harness recent advances in additive manufacturing [three-dimensional (3D) printing] to establish unique class epidermal ("epifluidic") devices. A 3D printed epifluidic platform, called "sweatainer," demonstrates potential true design space microfluidics through fabrication fluidic components previously inaccessible complex architectures. These concepts support integration colorimetric assays facilitate situ biomarker analysis operating mode analogous traditional systems. The sweatainer system enables new sweat collection, termed multidraw, which facilitates collection multiple, independent samples either on-body or external analysis. Field studies demonstrate practical these concepts.
