In article number 1603404, Yun‐Long Wu, Xian Jun Loh, and co‐workers have created a self‐indicating hydrogel that instantly reveals real‐time drug concentration in the hydrogel. The gel shows potential as a drug concentration meter to benefit experimental non‐invasive monitoring of actual drug release profile, which is not effectively supported by current technologies and materials.
