Abstract

Interstitial fluid (ISF) has attracted extensive attention in an extremely wide range of areas due to its unique advantages, such as portability, high precision, comfortable operation, and superior stability. In recent years, the microneedle (MN) technique has been considered to be an excellent tool for extracting ISF because it is painless and noninvasive. Recent reports have shown that MN has good application prospects in ISF extraction. In this review, we provide comprehensive and in-depth insight into integrated MN devices for ISF detection, covering the basic structure as well as the fabrication of integrated MN devices and various applications in ISF extraction. Challenges and prospects are highlighted, with a discussion on how to transition such MN-integrated devices toward personalized healthcare monitoring systems.
