Integrated biosensors to monitor personalized health. Multiple sensors are spread around the body to continuously collect data. (A) Portable devices for individuals to independently monitor health parameters at the point of living (T: T‐cells; B: B‐cells; L: other leukocytes; S: saliva, U: urine, B: blood). (B) Noninvasive wearable sensors to continuously monitor physiological parameters from on the body surface. (C) Edible sensors to measure molecular parameters and vital signs from inside the digestive tract. (D) Implantable or injectable sensors to monitor molecular parameters directly on a tissue or in the bloodstream.
