Conductive hydrogels, particularly those incorporating poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), have revolutionized wearable health monitoring by merging tissue-like softness with robust electronic functionality. This review systematically explores design strategies for PEDOT:PSS-based focusing on advanced gelation methods, including polymer crosslinking, ionic interactions, and light-induced polymerization, to engineer hierarchical networks that balance conductivity mechanical adaptability. Cutting-edge fabrication techniques such as electrochemical patterning, additive manufacturing, laser-assisted processing further enable precise microstructural control, enhancing interfacial compatibility biological systems. The applications of these hydrogels in sensors are highlighted through their capabilities real-time deformation tracking, dynamic tissue microenvironment analysis, high-resolution electrophysiological signal acquisition. Environmental stability long-term durability critical ensuring reliable operation under physiological conditions mitigating performance degradation caused fatigue, oxidation, or biofouling. By addressing challenges environmental durability, PEDOT:PSS demonstrate transformative potential personalized healthcare, where unique combination softness, biocompatibility, tunable electro-mechanical properties enables seamless integration human tissues continuous, patient-specific monitoring. These systems offer scalable solutions multi-modal diagnostics, empowering tailored therapeutic interventions chronic disease management. concludes insights into future directions, emphasizing the intelligent responsiveness energy autonomy advance next-generation bioelectronic interfaces.
