This review evaluates NFC-based wearable electrochemical sensors, highlighting advantages and outlining challenges for future applications.
Near Field Communication (NFC) has become a remarkable alternative in wearable sensor technologies due to its ability to perform wireless data transfer with low power and without contact. The energy efficiency, compactness and user-friendly interaction opportunities offered by NFC, especially in applications such as health monitoring, personal fitness tracking, biosignal measurement and human-machine interfaces, bring this technology to the forefront. This review aims to comprehensively examine the current status of NFC-based electrochemical wearable sensors, reveal their advantages and evaluate the main technical and application-based challenges to the widespread use of this technology. Despite the advantages such as NFC-supported energy harvesting, low-power data communication, battery-free systems and the use of biocompatible materials; limitations such as limited communication range, data transfer speed restrictions, sensitivity to motion artifacts and performance variability due to user positioning still stand out as important obstacles. In addition, topics such as multi-sensor integration, real-time data processing, artificial intelligence-supported interpretation systems, and sustainability are considered as potential directions for future research. This review aims to shed light on the technological development process of NFC-integrated electrochemical wearable sensors and contribute to the next generation of solutions that will be shaped by interdisciplinary applications.
