In article number 1903802, Tiger H. Tao and co‐workers report a set of body‐integrated and enzyme‐triggered degradable mechanical sensors using carbon nanotubes‐doped conductive silk hydrogels. The sensors can real‐timely monitor physiological signals and sporting motions by sensing the forces‐induced resistance change of their carbon nanotube networks, and simultaneously control drug release through laser radiation‐triggered rapid degradation of the hydrogel‐based sensors for in situ chronic disorders treatment.
