Flexible sensors are revolutionizing wearable and implantable devices, with conductive hydrogels emerging as key materials due to their biomimetic structure, biocompatibility, tunable transparency, stimuli-responsive electrical properties. However, fragility limited durability pose significant challenges for broader applications. Drawing inspiration from the self-healing capabilities of natural organisms like mussels, researchers embedding self-repair mechanisms into improve reliability lifespan. This review highlights recent advances in (SH) hydrogels, focusing on synthesis methods, healing mechanisms, strategies enhance multifunctionality. It also explores wide-ranging applications, including vivo signal monitoring, biochemical sensors, supercapacitors, flexible displays, triboelectric nanogenerators, bioelectronics. While progress has been made, remain balancing efficiency, mechanical strength, sensing performance. offers insights overcoming these obstacles discusses future research directions advancing SH hydrogel-based bioelectronics, aiming pave way durable, high-performance devices next-generation technologies.
