Persistent disparities exist in access to state-of-the-art healthcare disproportionately affecting underserved and vulnerable populations. Advances in wearable sensors enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) offer new opportunities to address such disparities and enhance equitable access advanced diagnostic technologies. Such technologies provide a pathway to rapidly prototype bespoke, multifunctional wearable sensors thereby circumventing traditional barriers in resource-limited environments, such as the necessity for specialized facilities, technical expertise, and capital-intensive processes. Here, we highlight several emerging areas of innovation that are revolutionizing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of sensor development. In this context this talk will present our recent efforts concentrated on developing (A) enhanced methodologies for fabricating laser-induced graphene (LIG)-based sensors, (B) 3D-printing technologies for fabricating high-resolution flexible electronics, and (C) new modalities for wearable microfluidic sensing platforms.
