Tear Based Bioelectronics
Abstract
This work provides an overview of the recent advances in the field of tear‐based wearable electrochemical biodevices, including non‐invasive biosensors, biological fuel cells and biosupercapacitors. Contact lenses are attractive platforms for fabricating non‐invasive self‐contained gadgets for different applications, starting from devices with casual or mundane purposes only, like personalized smart lenses with direct (invisible for others) displays, and ending with biomedical devices for continuous fitness status and/or health care monitoring. Key requirements and challenges that confront researchers in this exciting area are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
