Microfluidics is driving advancements in wearable and implantable technologies. Accelerated by innovations in miniaturised sensors and portable electronics, these systems provide non-invasive, real-time health monitoring through biofluids like sweat, saliva, and interstitial fluid. By incorporating flexible, durable, and biocompatible materials, they allow for enhanced sensing performance and usability.

These sensors provide critical insights into human health, disease progression, and therapeutic effectiveness - enabling highly personalised and adaptive healthcare. Alongside advancements in AI, IoT, and automated diagnostics, microfluidics is helping to reshape personalised medicine, delivering continuous and responsive health management solutions.

We invite research and review papers in these and related topics. Accepted articles will be published in an online collection as soon as they are accepted and will be promoted extensively.
