Several examples of miniaturized potentiometric ion-selective electrodes have been proposed. However, several challenges remain unsolved concerning their long-term stability due to variations in physical sweat parameters. We hypothesize that the simultaneous monitoring of such parameters (e.g., skin-surface temperature, sweat rate, and pH) may pave the way for accurate and robust sweat biomarker analysis. Therefore, we propose a flexible multiparameter sensory interface fabricated on Kapton polyimide foil with high-resolution inkjet printing using silver nanoparticles. A facile controlled drop-casting of a custom synthesized ion-selective membrane ensures the selectivity of the biosensing. Next, we interfaced the fabricated sensory array with a custom-designed compact flexible biosignals conditioning embedded system, which enables system calibration, data processing, and wireless data transmission to a smartphone device. Later, we validate the proposed system in simultaneous sweat multi-ion (K+ and Na+) and skin-surface temperature recording. After that, we characterize the system by embedding the smart medical bracelet in a soft microfluidic platform to mimic in situ analysis on the body. Overall, the reported results represent the fundamental evidence proof for the development of the wearable multimodal sweat parameter analyzer.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicInstruments & InstrumentationPhysics, AppliedEngineeringInstruments & InstrumentationPhysicssensor systemssensor applicationscontinuous monitoringpotentiometryselective membranesoft microfluidicssweat potassiumsweat sodiumInkjet-Printed Soft Intelligent Medical Bracelet for Simultaneous Real-Time Sweat Potassium (K+), Sodium (Na+), and Skin Temperature Analysistext::journal::journal article::research article
