Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are innovative soft materials that have garnered significant attention in recent years. These can undergo phase transitions or structural changes response to external stimuli, offering considerable potential for use as actuators. They effectively be used drug delivery and disease treatment by responding flexibly a variety of stimuli. This paper first categorizes the types stimuli hydrogel actuators respond outlines their applications skin therapeutics. It then reviews therapeutic potentials beyond skin, discusses challenges future prospects development stimuli-responsive

Hypoxia, characterized by inadequate tissue oxygenation, may result in damage and organ failure if not addressed. Current detection approaches frequently prove insufficient, depending on symptoms rudimentary metrics such as which fail to comprehensively identify the onset of hypoxia. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) has recognized sweat lactate a possible marker for early identification decubitus ulcers, nevertheless, neither nor oxygenation independently provides an appropriate diagnosis We have fabricated wearable device that non-invasively concurrently monitors fill this gap. apparatus comprises three essential components: (i) hydrogel-based colorimetric biosensor, (ii) near-infrared (NIR) sensor assessing (iii) integrated form factor enhanced wearability. alters its hue upon interaction with sweat, whereas NIR levels real-time. underwent testing phantom exhibiting tissue-mimicking characteristics human post aerobic anaerobic activities. Moreover, was demonstrated be capable real-time “on-body” simultaneous monitoring spikes (StO2) drops, showed strong correlation during hypoxia protocol. This innovative technology wide range potential applications, post-operative care, sepsis detection, athletic performance monitoring, provide economical healthcare solutions resource-limited regions.
