Abstract Multiresponsive flexile sensors with strain, temperature, humidity, and other sensing abilities serving as real electronic skin (e‐skin) have manifested great application potential in flexible electronics, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT). Although numerous sole function already been reported since the concept e‐skin, that mimics features human skin, was proposed about a decade ago, ones more capacities new emergences are urgently demanded. However, highly integrated sensitive multiresponsive functions becoming big thrust for detection body motions, physiological signals (e.g., blood pressure, electrocardiograms (ECG), electromyograms (EMG), sweat, etc.) environmental stimuli light, magnetic field, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)), which vital to real‐time all‐round health monitoring management. Herein, this review summarizes design, manufacturing, presents future challenges fabricating these next‐generation e‐skin wearable electronics.
