This article discusses the emergent biosensor technology focused on continuous biosensing of metabolites by non-invasive sampling of body fluids emphasized on physiological monitoring in mobility-constrained populations, resource-challenged settings, and harsh environments. The boom of innovative ideas and endless opportunities in healthcare technologies has transformed traditional medicine into a sustainable link between medical practitioners and patients to provide solutions for faster disease diagnosis. The future of healthcare is focused on empowering users to manage their own health. The confluence of big data and predictive analysis and the internet of things (IoT) technology have shown the potential of converting the abundant health profile data amassed from medical diagnosis of patients into useable information, whilst allowing caregivers to provide suitable treatment plans. The implementation of the IoT technology has opened up advanced approaches in real-time, continuous, remote monitoring of patients. Wearable, point-of-care biosensors are the future roadmap to providing direct, real-time information of health status to the user and medical professionals in this digitized era.
